A short run and swim combination with Graeme and Sarah.Route: leaving the car at the Lanthwaite Wood National Trust car park and running up Robin’s Steps to the summit of Brackenthwaite Hows and then south down the shoulder to the boat house. Round the lake past the swimming beach and then a further loop to the next stony beach and returning (Sarah and Tim) or heading on to Lowpark (Graeme and Lois) and returning to the swimming beach for a swim.
Conditions: after days of rain (clearly more than replenishing the reservoir), a dry period with even the odd hint of sun. Choppy water for swimming, however.
Pub? Nope but refreshment back at the cottage.
