Hi All !
I'm new to this site and have no experience of fell running. I am an experienced runner however.
We will be holidaying around Windermere during the 1st week of August and I'd like to try a couple of training runs on some more hilly terrain.
So can anyone recommend some 'not-so-strenuous' runs around the area which would be suitable for a fell-beginner?
Thanks
Steve
Loughrigg and Wansfell on either side of Ambleside would be nice little ones to start with. Good views from the top of both. Enjoy!
Thanks both.
Shall try them out.
It's not until the 1st week in August however :(
You can make Wansfell a decent circular route from Ambleside, going via Troutbeck. Clockwise gives you a steep ascent early on; anticlockwise, the climb is steadier.
Alternatively, you could do some trail running on the western side of the lake - perhaps something based on the Hawkshead Trail race?

Tussockface, Thanks also. Shall look into the Trail race.
