A short circular coastal walk with a beer festival thrown in.
Route: leaving the car at the bottom of the rear drive to the Woodlands Hotel and walking west along the road before branching right on a footpath through a caravan park. Then turning left to reach a woodland path near, but without views of, the sea. At the cove just north of Arnside Point, descending onto the sand and walking along this around the headland as far as New Barns. Turning inland and climbing over a spur off from Arnside Crag following signs for Arnside Tower and from it taking a path continuing above Elmslack to reach the drive past the Woodlands Hotel.
Conditions: despite a dire forecast, no rain and merely a cloudy but extremely windy autumnal day.
Pub: the Woodlands Hotel for Mordue Workie Ticket, Purple Moose Glaslyn Ale and Dancing Duck Dcuk.
