(I actually started in Ambleside, which added another 1.5 hours, and took the hourly 505 bus from Coniston back to Ambleside at the end)....

Lovely route, beautiful scenery...

Inevitably, having to cross from Langdale to Little Langdale to Yewdale, there's a bit of up and down between valleys, but nothing too strenuous, taking around 3 hours. The section from Little Langdale to Yewdale / Consiton takes you above some of the more dramatic quarried sections overlooking Tilberthwiate before descending on a short section of (quiet) single track road to Yewdale....

Starting at Chapel Style this nice walk takes you up over the fells past Loughrigg tarn before crossing the river into Ambleside. A few elevation changes along the route, not to much and plenty of natural places to catch your breath. Sometimes struggled to get an accurate gps location particularly near Chapel Style but the route is fairly straightforward Would recommend this walk...

I've walked the Grasmere - Grisedale tarn section twice now and the rest of the route once....

After leaving Grasmere and shortly after Lancrigg the official KesCha One route takes you steeply up to Helm Crag and then along the ridge over Gibson Knott and Calf Crag to the head of Far Easedale. While this is a delightful ridge, especially the top of Helm Crag, for a 30km route as this, I would strongly recommend the easier alternative of following the Far Easdale path instead. Photo 1 shows the point where the two routes diverge – right for Helm Crag, left for Far Easdale. Photo 2 shows the two route choices in orange and photo 3 the point at which they rejoin at the head of Far Easedale (the ridge route coming down from the right). It takes about an hour less to walk than the ridge route, and for a walk as long as this one, that's a useful hour to save. From the head of Far Easdale to the highest elevation point of this route at the Greenup Edge pass (610m, photo 4) there's a boggy section of a couple of km to negotiate. The path descends from Greenup Edge down over Lining Crag (photo 6) and past Eagle Crag towards Borrowdale....

Is pushchair friendly along its entire length (but would stick to Bog lane rather than the short Jeffy Knotts woodland diversion if on/with wheels). The short diversion through the woods at Jeffy Knotts is delightful but easy to miss if you are not looking out for it (entrances shown in Photos 1 and 2)....

From Chapel Stile to Skelwith Bridge the route follows a beautiful footpath. From there it follows minor roads, including the very quiet Bog Lane, to Clappersgate. Then it's just a mile on the pavement alongside the A593 into Ambleside.....

If I had just wanted to get to Chapel Stile quickly, or using something with wheels, I would have just used the road from High Close...

I walked it from Chapel Stile to Ambleside. The only issue that I had with it was that even on a damp grey Saturday afternoon in November the stretch from Chapel Stile to Skelwith Bridge was packed with walkers. It just shows how pleasant a walk it is and it is great to see everyone out....
