Ashness Bridge and Wagga Crag

It was a dry and sunny morning so I drove the short distance to Ashness Bridge and parked in the National Trust car-park for free. The stone bridge is an old pack-horse bridge, just wide enough for a car to cross.
The 4.5 mile walk started by ascending the fell and eventually reaching the top of Wagga Crag with excellent views of Keswick, Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. The walk continued downhill through Great Wood and back to Ashness Bridge.
I returned to Glaramara House for a soup lunch. and spent the afternoon in the lounge reading a book, the weather having turned showery with rainbows over the fells.
