Route: from the Close heading south through Oxenholme and along the A65, turning right to Stainton, Viver, Ackenthwaite and along the B6384 to Holme. Turning right to Holme Mills, under the West Coast Main Line and then right, across the A6 and uphill to Yealand Redmayne (along Nineteen Acre and then Eight Acre Lane), climbing further through Yealand Conyers and then descending through Warton to Carnforth for the first pints. Then back to the edge of Warton and left along the lower road to Crag Foot, Silverdale Green and (finally along Bottoms Lane) to the Woodland Hotel, Silverdale for a second pint. Then inland to Storth, along the estuary and Sustrans Route 700 to Heversham and then home via Sedgwick and Natland.Conditions: a strange mix of gusty cool winds, cloud and sunny spells (especially outside the Woodlands).
Pubs: The Carnforth Snug for Fell Tinderbox, Snowhill Pale. The Woodlands Hotel, Silverdale, for Oakham Citra and Sunset Bay Pale.
