Scout Scar 5.7km run

An Outdoor Day because run during the the Covid-19 shut down.

Route: From the layby (at GR 494899), a short ascent then bearing left to reach and then descend the escarpment and south across the fields before bending right onto the green track with views of the estuary. Bending left below Pooks Peak, through a gate and then along the cliff edge of the Scar. Along this to the trig point descending parallel to to the wall to the east but just before the path zigzags up a short scree slope bending right to follow a green track down a shallow valley. Crossing the main racecourse-to-Dave’s-Cairn path and continuing to turn right on a very clear section of the trippy path and following this to the end. Slowly uphill parallel to the wall, through the gate in the wall corner to descend, past the spooky building and along the edge of the escarpment to the start. 

Conditions: Cloudy, dry and 9C.

Pub? No because of C19, so a shared bottle of Abbot in the summer house pop-up pub.
