Troutbeck Tongue is a 364 m Wainwright in the far eastern fells, above Troutbeck. A long, low ridge in the middle of the Troutbeck valley, a quiet walk from the village. A usual day starts from Troutbeck and takes about 3–4 hours. This guide grades it easy, judging distance and steepness in fair summer conditions. Read a mountain forecast before a high fell, and turn back if the ridge is in wind, cloud, or ice.
