I've been to Latrigg's summit numerous times though I'd be reluctant to say I'd truly climbed it as each of my visits has been from the Gale Lane car park to the rear of the fell, which allows you to practically drive to the top. In order to put things right, I decided to make the most of a dreary, cold, wintery morning to climb Latrigg properly, from Keswick.
Despite the generosity of the Cumbrian parking disk scheme, I was worried that 2 hours may not be enough so I parked on Brundholme Road towards the north of the town, however, this walk can be started from anywhere in Keswick.
