Here it is: the final walk in the Central Fells region! Don't worry, there's going to be another 40 or so more videos in this Hiking the Wainwrights series....yay!

I can't think of a better route to follow to tackle the last 2 fells than this. It began with us traversing the coffin route from Rydal to Grasmere. We may or may not have had cake and coffee in Grasmere before setting off up the first fell: Silver How. The views back towards the Langdale Pikes and also towards Grasmere and Helvellyn were stunning. After a couple of tiny butties we set off for the final fell of the day and season: Loughrigg Fell. What a fell! Loughrigg is such a fascinating fell that really warrants a full day of exploration. After a senior's nap we headed to Rydal Cave to find the secret portal. Then it was on to the final pub of the season for a well earned pint after a long and muggy day in The Lakes.

Thank you so much for watching.
