Getting lost somewhere near Knott Hill but eventually regaining the path to cross the B5284 and head on Capplerigg Road which becomes a track then a road again to reach Gamblesmire Lane. Along this, rising, to reach Cunswick Scar and then along familiar routes to the Mushroom, trig point and down the escarpment to drop down the road crossing the A591 to Hawes Bridge into Natland and across the strawberry fields to reach home.
