Scout Scar 6.8km run from the racecourse

A weekend run during the C-19 shutdown.

Route: Leaving the car at the racecourse layby and running along the main diagonal path towards Dave’s Cairn but turning right before the handgate to try to enter the hidden valley. Sadly, turning right a little too soon and finding a confusing subsidiary valley slightly downhill and to the east of the main valley thus arriving via tussocky pathless ground at the main path from the racecourse to the mushroom lower than normal. Turning slowly up this path to the handgate and then turning right to hug the wall to the Underbarrow Road. Then up the gravel path onto the edge of the Scar and along this to Dave’s Cairn and then cutting across diagonally right to the Gate in the Corner to descend parallel to the wall to the Trippy Path and thence back to the start.

Weather: a glorious sunny evening.

Pub? (C-19) Cans of Big Smoke Jagged Sky, Fourpure Easy Peeler in the summer house.
