A short walk at 6pm to redeem an afternoon in which T had been asleep in the sun (indoors, mind!).Route: leaving the car at St Margaret's Church above the Pheasant Inn and walking through the church yard to its upper rear gate and then across to the main footpath heading uphill to the right and then round the hill gaining grounding slowly towards the west. At a subsidiary path, turning left to ascend east and, just beyond the vector of the initial path, taking a faint right in a flattened valley uphill. At a crossroads of paths turning right to gain the familiar ridge and the leftmost of the two main paths to the top. Thence down to a subsidiary summit and round to Lothwaite and then descending on a large clear grassy path between bracken to the church.
Conditions: cool and cloudy but (almost deserted and) illuminated by sun on the top.
Pub?: the Coledale Inn for a (C-19) outdoor pint of Corby Blonde.
