​

There are beautiful views over the Lake and down the Borrowdale Valley. There is NO ACCESS to Friar's Crag directly on the Tramper as the path is not big enough at the view point itself. You can leave the Tramper 50m from the view point and if your mobility allows walk the final distance. There is a bench at the view point.

However, if you are unable to access this point similar views are available from the Tramper route both near to Friar's Crag as well as from the furthest point on the route.

​

The Tramper is available at 10am for 2.5hrs. 

​

Members must be accompanied on the route by another person during the Tramper hire session, due to limited or no mobile signal. 

 

All Tramper users must stay on the designated Tramper route path.
