Circuit of Longsleddale

A narrow ~10km circuit of Longsleddale, half on road and half on paths.

Route: leaving the car at the church (£2 per day) and running south as far as the footpath over a bridge to Docker Nook. Then turning right to follow a generally well signed but otherwise not entirely intuitive path across fields past farms and through a large number of gates to reach the path back over the river near Till's Hole. Back south along the road to the start.

Conditions: cloudy sun, cool. At times quite damp under foot.

Pub: the Gateway, Kendal for Thwaites Golden Gate and Lancaster Bomber.
