Route: leaving the car in the Broadgate Road car park in Grasmere and taking the road (parallel to Easedale Road) towards Allan Bank. Just before it, taking a signed tarmac path round it to the right, becoming a stony track. Following this up a gentle rather indistinct spur of hillside, taking a fork left to cross Wray Gill (OS Grid Ref: NY 32450 07199) a little after an obvious ravine to the left. From the summit, descending south onto a hillocky moorland over Spedding Crag and Dow Bank heading south east. Descending to an obvious lateral path, a bit before the road, near Hammerscar Wood and taking the walled bridleway back to the road and hence the start.Conditions: bright sun but a bitterly cold northerly wind.
Pub: beforehand, Tweedies Bar for Ilkley Rombald and Fell Bantam. Afterwards, tea and cheese scones in a café on Red Lion Square.
