A wet day with low cloud on the high tops, so a low level walk to Walla Crag. From Keswick centre, out on Springfield Rd to roadhead, then we went up through Springs wood. crossed the footbridge by Rakefoot, then up the open hillside. We took the woodland path along the edge of the crest to the summit of Walla Crag. On the summit, the view S to the higher peaks was obscured by clouds and rain, but there were views to the NW. From the summit, we continued S and descended to Ashness bridge. Here we walked down the minor road to the shores of Derwent Water, then walked 4km back on the lakeside path to Keswick.
