High Rigg

A short post prandial walk with Mark and Sandra.

Route: leaving the car in the Legburthwaite United Utilities car park and walking west on the unmade road to strike the A591 and cross the river. Then taking a gate onto the flank of High Rigg and walking along its spine on a clear path on an undulating ridge to the summit. Descending towards the church and turning right and down the road to find a very clear walled path heading along the lower slopes of the hill all the way back to the start.

Conditions: despite rain threatening, the day remained dry but cloudy.

Pub: before the Horse and Farrier, Threlkeld for Jennings Sneck Lifter and Cocker Hoop (and lunch). Afterwards the King's Head Thirlspot for Jennings Cocker Hoop.
