This long Lake District walk is a challenge but one within the reaches of most walkers. Starting at Patterdale, the route follows the river and then heads into a little-visited valley. A steep climb takes you onto the high ground around High Street, and it's then a superb walk along the upper ground back to Patterdale. A long but rewarding day out. There is a YHA in Patterdale for longer stays.
