A run round the village on a grey November afternoon before driving back to Kendal.Route: leaving the cottage and running south along the road and round the corner past the village hall to the lane to Hill Mill and then on to Low Swinside. Crossing to the far side of the farmyard to find a path over three fields to reach a c-road, turning right, north, for 500m. Taking a right turn onto a path across a field to join the enclosed track back to Hill Mill. Turning left and following a track by the stream back to the same c-road and right to a crossroads in the middle of Lorton.
Turning left to the main Low Lorton crossroads and right past the pub to the new footpath at the north end of the village back to Church Lane and back to the church. Then left on another footpath to the c-road past Lorton Park and home.
Conditions: grey but mild and dry.
Pub? No but, earlier, the Punchbowl, Great Broughton, for East London Brewery, Walthamstow Green Hopped Pale Ale and Unsworth’s Yard, Cartmel, Last Wolf.
