Route: exiting the Mill Yard over the footbridge and heading north east to reach the back road and along this (avoiding sodden fields) past the sewage works to the track to Side House over a fallen tree. Up the valley to join the road and down this to Hall Road. A little further on taking the path across fields and pretty bridge to Low Elfhowe and then back via Scroggs Farm.
Conditions: very windy, low cloud and drizzle and later heavier rain.
Pub: the Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley for Iti, WPA and Cumbrian Five Hop.
