Sallows loop from the Garburn Pass

A 13km run.

Route: leaving the car at Moor Howe to run along Dubbs Road to join the Garburn Pass and running along it slowly gaining altitude to the reach the top. Then taking a stile on the right to follow a clear marshy, grassy path steeply uphill at a walk to the summit of Sallows. Then following a faint quad-bike track along the ridge of Sallows and descending south-east, coming across a strange Derbyshire-like ridge of tiny rocky peaks (tors?) of Scour Rigg. Heading south on a new track to a gate and then following the line of fencing further south to the main path back to the path cross-roads. Following this further south and then by paths to High Borrans and then back to the car via a quick (trespass off the road to) glance at the reservoir.

Conditions: initially cloudy but becoming sunnier.

Pub: Sitting outside at the Watermill at Ings' outside beer-trailer-bar for fine pints of Windermere Blonde.
