Wansfell

Distance: 8.63km
Ascent: 602m
Duration: 4 Hours 46 Minutes

Today we stayed local as the weather was not meant to be great but at least it was dry! The cloud base hung around 500m so we chose Wansfell so we could walk from where we were staying!

On our way up to Wansfell we chose a path beside Stock Ghyll Beck to see the waterfalls.
