Route: From the pub at Ings, taking the small steep road to Grassgarth and beyond on a stony track before taking a slight right turn towards Kentmere. Then in very muddy conditions on level ground across the common to reach a junction of paths by Park Beck. Turning sharp right heading south east on a path, sometimes pitched, sometimes grass to descend into the Kentmere valley before turning right along a very muddy track just before the river at Ulthwaite Bridge. Then up the road climbing quite steeply back onto the hillside near Williamson's Monument becoming a gravel track again.Through Heights Farm and then right along a muddy bridleway (rather than left on a road), and another right to descend, at little more than walking pace, a very rocky track then to rejoin the outward route half a mile from Ings.
Conditions: Cloudy and a brief shower but mild for November. Very wet under foot.
Pub: The Watermill at Ings for Watermill Wruff night and Eden Gold.
