Red Skrees. We made our walking plan for today over breakfast. The path to Red Skrees seemed to entail going up a chimney which was consistent with the contour lines. So we made our way out of town and found the appropriate footpath to Kirkstone Pass. The latter part required walking along a road with an interesting name,  The Struggles. The sharp incline to Red Skrees looked impossible from our first views. Nevertheless it was well pathed and not dangerous. It was windy and cool so we put on our jackets as soon as we got over the steepest part. The walk back into Ambleside was pleasant and quite easy.
