Arnside Knott

A circular route diverted by a high equinox tide with Steve, Kathryn, Tom and Alex Woodcock.

Route: leaving the car on the promenade at Arnside and setting off on the coastal paved path but, on discovering the path to be flooded, heading inland to Red Hills Road and continuing on New Barns Road to approach the coast at New Barns. There taking a path across fields on the left to rise through woodland and, eventually taking a path through a gate signed Arnside Knott. Here, turning steeply left and a little later recrossing the wall to reach a viewpoint with panorama. Then following paths to the summit and diverting right to the trig point before continuing down hill in the direction of the viaduct and, by minor roads, reaching the car.

Conditions: very high tide, some light rain, cloudy.

Pub: No 17, Milnthorpe, for Lancaster Red.
