Ascent of Loughrigg Fell

Me, Claire and Sarah parked up at Skelwith Bridge, and initially struggled to fing the track through the fields up to Loughrigg Tarn, it commences directly opposite the entrance to the Talbot Inn. We headed out to the NW corner of Loughrigg and picked up a very good track onto the Fell itself, walking over it in a SW direction, hitting the road near Ashley Green. We then walked back up to Skelwith Bridge along the pathless road, almost getting knocked over by a police car on the sharpest of the bends.
