Hiking

Blea Rigg is a Wainwright in the Central Fells of the Lake District. It's nestled between the Easedale valley and the Langdale valley and as such it can be tagged onto a hike from either Grasmere or Great Langdale. Hiking in this area is quite rough underfoot with sheep tracks heading off in multiple directions, so navigation can be a little tricky here in bad weather.

Surprisingly quite a commanding view considering the height of this Wainwright. A really good view to which inversions can be seen all the way to Coniston
