Please suggest nice walks around Windermere for a colleague who is there this weekend... staying near Bowness
Probably best I leave this to Ash as he's the expert, but from Bowness he's 20 minutes from the Langdale Valley in one direction or Ullswater in the other, so, sheesh, it's hard to know where to start, really.Quote:

Either is fine.... depends on how long each walk is!Quote:

Probably best await the Word of Ash, though.
Bowness is a bit South for me, I'm afraid. If he doesn't mind a little drive to the starting point the world is his oyster, as Sir C says. He could always go up the Old Man of Coniston. :thumbup:Quote:
