Help connect Patterdale

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Patterdale’s Slow Ways.

The majority of the climbing from Ambleside to the pass is along a good track (photo 1) which gradually gets steeper towards the pass itself (photo2). The path from the pass down to Patterdale is a little less well defined (photo 3), but still clearly navigable with beautiful views to the rugged head of the Patterdale valley....

It is quite a bit easier than AMBPAT1 as the Kirkstone pass is only 454m as opposed to the 616m Scandale pass but they are both very enjoyable walks....
