The old railway line which is a footpath just as you come out of Threlkeld on the right. 4 miles flat. Nice route. Brings you out at the old railway station near the Swimming pool in Keswick and avoids any roads.
That's great - thanks Andy
To the best of my knowledge the bridges on the path were washed away or damaged. I don't think you can get directly back to Keswick. There are diversionary routes but it may take you a bit longerQuote:

Head up to the Blencathra centre http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=330...5577&A=Y&Z=120 then follow footpaths back to the car park at the back of Latrigg and reverse the outward path or once you've crossed Glenderaterra Beck take the lane underneath Latrigg back to Keswick.
There is a road which takes you back to the road under Latrigg. Its more or less opposite the new cafe, but a little more towards Keswick, the L100 used a part of it to divert off the railway path. It drops down to the entrance to the old railway, where the hut/info board is, then it's a short climb up on road to the gate which takes you over Latrigg or on the road under it.
Cheers all.
I'd park in Threlkeld and get the bus into Keswick
then if you've time/energy after finishing Leg 1 you can go and rep Clough Head ;)
Conditions underfoot on leg 1 anyone know
They were superb on Saturday. Boggy of course between Skiddaw and Great Calva but I've seen it much much worseQuote:
