Probably not best not to bother if you’re not confident in hiking.
I don’t think a bus would go up there.
What a stupid trail. It’s way longer than it should be, just go up in a straight line, don’t be an idiot.
Edit; clearly some people need an /s to realize i’m not serious. Jesus.
The folks at r/UKHiking will give you tips
I’m not sure exactly where that path is but if it’s Causey Pike you could walk from Braithwaite which can be accessed on the X4/X5 bus from Keswick. Keswick is 45 mins on the bus from Penrith which is a mainline train station.
However if you’re not familiar with hiking and don’t have all the correct kit then please don’t attempt this as your first hike. Mountain rescue spend too much time rescuing people who attempt walks like this unprepared and you calling it the ‘entrance’ makes me think you haven’t done much hiking before.
So much of the Lake District is accessible by public transport and there are many beautiful shorter and lower level hikes you could try out first.
reduce soil erosion and make it an easier climb?
Between Sail and Scar Craggs fell in the Lake District. A two hour return walk from a town called Stair up via an old mine road.
If you are looking for an easy day out and a quick walk this isn’t it. If you’re into hiking and know good safety practice then it’s a nice trip. Review someone has left of the route here – https://214wainwrights.wordpress.com/walk_list/walk27/
Neast place is probably Braithwaite. Which has a bus stop, and a bus from Workington, which has a train station.
Not that route but there is similar looking trails in Malvern Worcestershire and a lot more accessible.
Yeah, the 233 stops just over the ridge, 30 mins from Eltham Station.
She’s probably not there anymore so whether or not you could reach her by public transport is unclear
Reminds me of skiing down a mountain without any snow.
It’s pretty easy; the zipper for the summit leaves every hour on the hour. 5 minutes to the top.
This feels like N is about to walk into the endless now
looks like Kettering right by the Weetabix factory
I remember seeing this picture before and apparently the locals see this path as an eyesore – it’s to help prevent erosion.
There are better walks around than this. Download the OSmaps or Alltrails app and have a look around Edale train station in the Peak District.
I believe it to be sail.
No
I put the photo into ChatGPT and asked “where is this” here’s the result; The image shows a famous path called the “Zig Zag Path” on Cat Bells, a popular fell in the Lake District, England. Cat Bells is a favorite among hikers for its relatively easy climb and stunning views of Derwentwater and the surrounding fells. The distinctive zigzag path helps to make the ascent a bit easier by reducing the steepness of the climb. This particular section is well-known and often photographed by those who hike there.

No idea about transport, sorry
Google lets you search based on an image.

Lol at Reddit trying to gatekeep hiking, if you want to do it, do it.
Walking on a busted up baseball / cricket ball
Based on my experience of hiking it would probably take an ordinary person who does not hike on the regular about 2 hours to ascend that.
That appears to be 1,500-2,000 feet ascent over less than 2 miles so would be constant up and actually somewhat difficult.
An experience hiker could do it in less than an hour.
77 from Keswich to Buttermere.
This is the eastern climb up “Sail”. It’s not quick to get to from Buttermere and it’s quite hard work.
You’ve got over 500m climbing from Buttermere to get to where this photo was taken.
Is the path going up Sail Fell, Lake District and part of the Coledale Horseshoe.
Its quite easy to get to although the start of the zigzags is about a 2.5 miles and a 2000 foot climb from Braithwaite.
I am local and do this a couple of times a month. Its a bugger to run up!
Don’t feed the troll, guys. Read their comments. This is clearly a wind-up.
That would fun to ride a bike down.
