Route: Leaving the car cheekily in the Hare and Hounds carpark in Bowland Bridge (we’re regulars) and taking the quiet country road on the east side of the river northwards past Barkbooth, dog-legging left and right after 3 miles. Crossing the A5074 at the Brown Cow at Winster and continuing up hill before dropping back to the west to join the A5074 briefly heading east for 200m and then taking a bridleway on the right. Following a rough path to join a track and climb the west side of the valley and then along empty tracks, then quiet roads to Hartbarrow and a descent by the Masons Arms to the start.
Conditions: Sunny and bright.
Pub: Hawkshead Brewery for Hoppy Red and Windermere Pale Ale.
