Walking from Keswick sponsored by Polartec offers four different walks of varying difficulty;
Coledale Round
From Keswick the peaks surrounding Coledale are an intriguing sight and many are linked at a high level making them ideal for a skyline walk that gains the summits in one round.
Skiddaw via Jenkin Hill
Skiddaw’s simple symmetry appeals to the child in us all. Its form needs no explanation; it is a mountain simple as that, with steep slopes and a summit. From the most ardent mountaineer to the most languid couch potatoes.
Bowder Stone and Watendlath
Tucked high amongst the fells in a secluded and hidden valley on the eastern side of Borrowdale is the picture perfect hamlet of Watendlath. It sits nestling in a glacier-carved hollow beside the mirrored waters of a tarn.
Borrowdale and Castle Crag
In the middle of Borrowdale is Castle Crag. From its summit you can peer up and down the valley and take in the grand views that are on offer. From its flanks you can experience the intimacy of the surrounding woods and river banks.
Before setting off on any of these walks please plot the route on an appropriate map: OS Landranger 90, OS Explorer OL 4
