The
Windermere
Way 00
: Finding Our Way
September 2017
Having
finished the Ullswater
Way
with Cynthia & Ian, the question naturally arose-
what next?
There are of course plenty of long
distance walks but they would generally involve long
distance drives, especially if done in stages rather
than as one complete unit over several consecutive days.
Margaret
and I had heard of the Windermere Way so I thought I
should do some research. I asked Uncle Google
and this is what he came up with:
Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Ready to Learn!
Well,
you can't disagree with that but it didn't quite fit
in with what I expected. Then I found something, on
the same website,
a little more relevant:

Walking
Wednesday
Calling
all Windermere Hawks.
Do you know what
time it is?
It’s
time to grab your shoes and head outside,
enjoy
the fresh air and take some strides.
Come
bring a friend or meet a new one,
all
are welcome to join the fun.
We
will have a raffle for prizes at the end,
and
lots of fun things going on before then.
Just
remember, you can sing, dab, or talk
but
we must always make sure to WALK, WALK,
WALK.
Check
out the routes as soon as you can,
Walking
Wednesdays are back again!
See
you on the sidewalks!

There
is the clue. See you on the "sidewalks".
Not Windermere Cumbria.
Windermere Ohio.

Fortunately,
the next thing that Uncle Google showed me really was
the real thing.
Phil
Kirby's Windermere
Way covers 45 miles
which seemed rather a lot for a lake that is 11
miles long however there are some parts where there
is no lakeside access so a higher level solution is offered.
The
presumed four part expedition was out of the question
for us.
It needed to be broken down into rather shorter sections.
That proved to be quite a challenge.
What follows
on subsequent pages will prove whether or not we manage
to achieve the objective.
