Route: from the Mill Yard, across the footbridge and north east to join the road bending left to climb towards Craggy Plantation. Entering the woods and, after stopping to try a rope swing on a slippery 45-degree slope, following the path round, gaining height to a view north towards the head of Kentmere. After another pause for more rope swings, leaving the wood and descending steeply across fields to pick up the road at Barley Bridge back to the footbridge and hence the Brewery.
Conditions: a still cloudy day.
Pub: the Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley for Cumbrian Five Hop, Windermere Pale Ale and Hawkshead Red (and lunch).
