Walking from Monk Coniston - Great Langdale
It's not easy to get from Monk Coniston to Great Langdale by public transport.
The 505 bus goes to Ambleside as described on the page here. In the summer, when the 505 bus I was on got to Ambleside, it then changed to a 516 to Dungeon Ghyll in Langdale valley (this is only some busses in the summer). However I did not try this as I don't like relying on complicated bus routes for the return journey.
I did visit the Langdale valley in 1996. From the bus stops at the Old or New Dungeon Ghyll hotels you can walk up to Stickle Tarn and then walk up to Pavey Arc:
I would not climb up Jack's Rake these days.
Also from Old Dungeon Ghyll I remember doing a circuit involving Pike-o-Blisco, Crinkle Crags, Bowfell and so on.

About This SiteHere is some information I have gathered together about getting to and walking from HF houses when leaving the car at home. On these pages I have also put some history about former HF houses I have visited. The information here is based on my visits to HF houses over the years. It may be out of date so don't rely on anything here without checking. If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost. This is information I have discovered over the years which would have been useful to know before. Unfortunately the travel information on the HF website, for getting to houses by public transport, is poor. I think it would be better if the information on this page were on the HF website. |
