Parking Keswick.

Hazards:
Care required at '2'. From steps turn right, then after short distance at cross paths before fence turn left up track. Good path between fences across fields from '3' to '4'. Just before '8' take fork left to stone steps. No kissing gates at '10', continue ahead. Path continues beyond '12' if time permits.
