New cafe recommendation in Ambleside. Force .. just up by the waterfalls on the way to Wansfell. Infact they have a Wansfell Dash challenge. From the cafe to the summit and back. 20.09 is top of the leaderboard.

It’s a lovely place to sit and we had excellent food. It’s advertised as a Walkers cafe. There’s no parking to speak off

I second the Force. I've been there a couple of times. It's a nice wander up from Ambleside, is good for lunch and/or cake, is dog friendly and in summer that terrace will be glorious.

I was tempted to see if it was open earlier as I walked past, but pushed on and forced myself into Chester’s a bit later. +1 Wainwright for me please. Bay stones today. Did a nice route from Ambleside, along the LL50 route in reverse through the woods and up Thousands Road. Took in Dod Hill, Baystones, Wansfell and Wansfell Pike before walking back to where we are staying via Chester’s. Was out walking by 07:20 which meant I had the tops, and most of the route till I was coming off Wansfell Pike, to myself and the mist. |

Can recommend the Force cafe. Sat here now, it will be brilliant in the summer.
