Route: leaving the car on Caroline Street, just down from Kendal Green, and running across the Green and up Green Hill to cross Windermere Road and pick up a footpath uphill, meeting the lateral path from Queen’s Road. Along this under Hellsfell Nab doubling back parallel to and then crossing the A591 and then running to the top of Cunswick Scar. Descending on a sometimes muddy path to cross the B5284 and follow paths across damp fields to cross the A591 and descend Hollins Lane. At a slight bend, opposite the entrance to Ellergreen, taking a footpath across fields back towards Kendal to the Hallgarth estate and up and over the hill on a tarmac snickleway to Kendal Green and back to the car.
Conditions: despite a sharp shower while driving to the start, dry and mild throughout (with rainbows!)
Pub: the New Union, Kendal, meeting Anne and Frank, for Thornbridge Jaipur IPA and a taste of Fran and Ian’s tapas at the New Union’s 3rd birthday party.
