Claife Heights 12km run

A 12km run on a day of disappointing weather.

Route: from the Cuckoo Brow Inn, along Cuckoo Brow Lane past Moss Eccles Tarn over to Scab Moss where tree felling had changed the look of things. Then along a Forestry Commission road down to Wray and on a metalled road to its end at Beyond Fields and Red Nab. Then taking the undulating lakeside path before trending to the right arduously up hill to cross the shoulder of the hill and drop back into Far Sawrey behind the pub.

Conditions: Despite a fine forecast, a cloudy day with the threat of showers and exceptionally wet under foot.

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