Despite spending a fair amount of time cragging in the south lakes over the years I haven’t really done much walking that wasn’t to and from crags . Ideally starting in Ambleside , up something wainwrighty . Ideas please .
As recommended by wercat Wansfell is the obvious one. You can make a nice circuit going out through Skelghyll Woods towards Troutbeck and coming back over the top - various options available via tracks and CRoW land. Stockghyll Force is worth a look after all the rain. Up Scandale and over Red Screes is a chunkier proposition as is bagging Little Hart Crag (good views down the other side into Dovedale and Patterdale) and returning over High and Low Pikes.
With bus fares capped at £2, a linear walk could be an option. Possibly from Windermere over Orrest and Wansfell or from Dunmail and take in Fairfield, depending on how stiff a walk you fancy.
