A regular walk Keswick to Portinscale

Overview

Paths are very good but storm Desmond did its best to pull out bridges and cover riverside paths. Most was dealt with but some areas were narrow in places. Much work has taken place to ensure walkers can get from a to b easily. I used the tarmac path next to the road this time, although narrow and having to get down a deep kerb getting there, (created a little tension on the way back because my chair could not climb it, but I found a lower one further on, although on the road). Some tarmac is rough in Portinscale and some of the walk is on the road, there is not a lot of traffic and the small nature reserve is accessible (a small steep section) and they have replaced the bench next to Derwentwater. I love it - should I really be telling anyone?

Transport & Parking

3.5

Walked (used my Puma). No facilities whatsoever. Parking is in a small end road widened for the purpose. No fee, no hassle and plenty of people close by for security.

Access

4

From Keswick it is a delightful walk and there are hotels in Portinscale but they are not accessible. There is a cafe which is but other customers probably get in the way. We usually take a flask with us. A bit rough in places and some road to negotiate.
