    WATERY WALKS AND SUNLIT SUMMITS

    Jun 10, 2022 4 minutes

    SUMMER IS THE SEASON of opportunity for hillwalkers. The days are long, the temperatures hover reliably above freezing, and the tarns and lochans that would normally give you an outbreak of goose pimples are suddenly tempting you to roll your trouser legs up and get stuck in. Best of all, there’s nothing to stop you throwing a few bits in a lightweight pack and hiking from dawn to dusk. For days when the sky is blue, the breeze is balmy and the great outdoors is calling, these walks are just the ticket.

    Langdale Pikes, Lake District

    BEST FOR: GHYLL SCRAMBLING

    START/FINISH: New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel (NY294063)
