A 10km run while Lois - in a sling - visited the Westmorland County Show on PTC business.Route: leaving the car at the layby on the A65 near Millness Hill and crossing the canal to descend overgrown steps to the canal towpath - which was being resurfaced - and heading north, past the busy showground and along beyond Stainton Bridge End Bridge to what used to be the end of the filled section. Crossing back and taking the path to look at the aquifer. Then backtracking to reach a route across fields to a very overgrown, un-runnable path to a tarmac track to Commonmire.
Following the road to reach a path heading south, climbing to Stubb Farm and then a steeply up a small hill. Descending to the village of Endmoor and crossing to descend a road and then turn right along a path parallel to Peasey Beck and stopping the run at the Crooklands Hotel, joined later by Lois. (Afterwards, walking back along the canal to the car.)
Conditions: 10C but warm in bright sun.
Pub: Crooklands Hotel, Crooklands, for Kirkby Lonsdale Monumental.
