A 10-11km run from Kendal station to Staveley station (taking a shortcut to fit in with the Sunday train timetables).Route: taking the train to Kendal and running along Sandes Avenue and Maude Street, across Noble’s Rest to cross Low Fellside, Serpentine Road and Queen’s Road up Stoney Lane and then along the Tram Way to Cunswick Scar but turning left and west before the summit to descend to Cunswick Tarn then to Fell Gate and Capplerigg Lane. Across the Crook Road and then north on damp paths past Knott Hill and Ashes to Staveley.
Conditions: initially rather grey and uninspiring but mild, giving way to two periods of rain and the odd burst of sunshine.
Pub: The Eagle and Child, Staveley, for Corby Blonde and Keswick Brewing Company Keswick Gold and a light lunch.
