A Walk Around Lingmoor Fell and Great Langdale

We woke to find the weather hadn't improved. The temperature had risen to at or just above freezing as the thaw set in and the forecast was for cloudy summits. Dave, who owned the guest house, suggested a low level walk starting at the nearby village of Elterwater. So, as we had no better ideas, we decided to follow his suggestion.
We followed the road from Ambleside towards Great Langdale making slow progress due to the snow and slush. After passing Elterwater, we were puzzled as Pete and Keith continued for quite a distance before stopping at a parking area practically in Great Langdale. When we asked why they had gone that far, they realised they really didn't know where we planned to start from!
So, we turned around and headed back towards Elterwater to park at a road junction leading to the village.
We followed the minor road towards the village and then onwards along the lane heading towards Little Langdale Tarn where we followed a path soon leading across a small and narrow hump-back Slater Bridge crossing the stream leading from the Tarn.
Following a walled lane with lots of slush and inches-deep water, we reached the narrow road leading up from the Wrynose Pass near a cattle grid and followed this road downhill as far as a gap in the wall by a stile.
After crossing the stile we followed a path across Blea Moss and reached track continuing through a small wood by Blea Tarn. After a kilometre or so we skirted the campsite at Great Langdale where there were several hardy campers and then followed a section of the Cumbria Way leading up a slope. We followed the route of the Cumbria Way as it wended alongside Great Langdale Beck then crossed a bridge and onto the Great Langdale road.
All that remained was to walk along the road for a bit over a kilometre back to where we started.
