Route: Leaving the car on the turn off from the A590 towards Mill Side and taking the old road - the route of the WtoW cycleway - and then cycle path to Gilpin Bridge. Along the A5074 (straight, wide and with a verge here) as far as Thorfor Bridge and then taking the narrow lane rising slightly to reach The Howe before briefly rejoining the A5074 for 200m (here narrower and with no verge). Then sharp left and up hill to Row and continuing along a rising track round the north end of Whitbarrow before dropping down to the quiet lane past Pool Bank and Witherslack Hall and leaving the road on a bridle way to Beck Head and down the road to the start.
Conditions: Initially cloudy but bright but becoming cooler with a hint of rain.
Pub: The newly re-opened Hare and Hounds, Levens for Barngates Tag Lag and Cartmell Cromwell Door.
