7km Kentmere run including the Three Rivers path

A 7km run to examine the controversial re-surfacing of the Three Rivers path.

Route: leaving the car on the road just before the entrance to the Hollingworth & Vose factory and running through the factory yard to take the green valley bottom path towards Kentmere Hall but at a crossroads in the woods near the end, bending slightly left to rise to reach the return path, climbing slowly onto the moors. At the crossroads of paths at a stream crossing, taking the left turn descending the Three Rivers path, turning left at the bottom back through the pottery and thence the factory and back to the car.

Conditions: grey but not cold. Later, in the pub, some sun.

Pub: the Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley, for Hawkshead Session Series 22 Centennial and Amarillo, and Jester, and lunch.
