This is a free event but Tina will be collecting cash donations for Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team at her walks this year with the aim of raising £100 to say thank you for coming to our assistance when one of our walkers slipped and broke her ankle. There is absolutely no obligation to donate but if you can spare a pound or two, or even a few pennies, please throw something in the pot.
WALK DESCRIPTION
We will start with a visit to the waterfall before climbing to the summit of Gowbarrow Fell and continuing clockwise to descend, joining the Ullswater Way to return to the start. There are toilets and a cafe near the car park. Please note: the path is rocky and steep in places.
