Claife Heights 7 mile run

A hot sticky run on Claife Heights and back along the lake, largely on forest trails.

Route: from Firbank, along Cuckoo Brow Lane past Moss Eccles Tarn over to Scab Moss and then along a forestry commission road down to Wray. Along a metalled road to its end at Beyond Fields and Red Nab then taking the undulating lakeside path before trending to the right up hill to cross the shoulder of the hill and drop back into Far Sawrey behind the pub.

Conditions: hot and sticky with hazy views.

Pub: Cuckoo Brow Inn for Cumbrian Legendary Ales Loweswater Gold.
