A pleasant walk from Great Langdale into Little Langdale and then to Tilberthwaite with a return via Hodge Close , Stang End and Wilson Place. Near the end of the walk we met up with a member of the Wainwright Society forum who having recognised us introduced himself and we all went to the Brittania Inn at Elterwater for a drink.
