A Sunday morning trip to Morrison’s to buy limes (Lois while Tim researched the crinoids for an AtA episode)Route: Setting out from Howe Bank Close to run round the station, up and along Hayclose Road to Paddy Lane. Joining Paddy Lane and running past the Greyhound junction with Old Sedbergh and on almost to the railway line, turning left on the (unmarked atm) bridleway to Benson Hall Farm. Eventually finding the corrent route skirting all the farm buildings and passing to the right of the farmhouse, cutting left towards the caravan site and then turning right to take the metalled road under the railway line and all the way down to the Appleby Road. There turning left, running past Spital Farm (not taking the bridleway left through the farm) and turning right into the retail park to Morrison’s.
After spending too long buying coffee, beer and limes there, heading back out and down the Appleby Road towards town, turning to follow Fowl Ing Lane (tarmacked most of the way) out of the estate and up through Jenkin Crag Farm (just before the Farm trying a detour due east over a stile into fields but too waterlogged so returning to the lane) and eventually back up to Paddy Lane. Turning right to follow Paddy Lane, Hayclose Lane and the B6254 home, cutting through Oxenholme Station at the end.
Conditions: mild and fairly still, residual snow on the hills, but very slow going running back with (beer, coffee and) limes.
Pub? C19, Dry January and T already a good way through a pint of Brass Castle Hoptical Illusion, so just had a San Miguel 0.0 with lunch.
