Then along the track by the lakeshore through Hallinhag Woodrow Waternook, descending left to keep to the shore and then turning right to the (relatively new) Tea Room at the Howtown Hotel for coffee and cakes. Then ascending gently behind the hotel under Steel End back to the start.Conditions: very hot and sunny, though later losing the sun contrary to the forecast.
