A short 6km walk with Andrew, Helen and Anton.Route: leaving the cars at the Jubilee Tower Quernmore parking area and heading north-east parallel to a fence, gradually uphill on marshy ground, periodically forced away from the fence to cross patches of water. Near the summit of Grit Fell, at a substantial cairn, heading left and north-west to pick up another clear, wide muddy path trending slightly downhill to Clougha Pike. At the trig point (and view) following an initially clear path south and eventually crossing a fence at a stile. From here proceeding pathless but less marshy than before, initially following a direction from the OS mapping phone app and then later guided visually back by the tower.
Conditions: grey and cloudy with a faint hint of very fine drizzle.
Pub: The Fleece Inn, Dolphinholme, for Lancaster Brewery New Zealand IPA, Bowland Brewery Gold, Ennerdale Wild and lunch.
