A long, easy ascent to the Kirkstone Pass Inn is followed by a tough climb directly up Red Screes with the possibility of finding difficult ground - this is not recommended in bad weather. The gradual descent to Ambleside is over easy ground and the views of the central and western fells make the whole thing worth while.
