A 5km stroll with Bridget and Simon from their house on Queen’s Road.Route: leaving 1 Mountain View, Queen’s Road via its back gate and walking between allotments to a lateral path and following this north before turning left uphill to reach the path coming from the Tramway. After a little while doglegging left right to rise up across the golf course above Kettlewell Crag, descending to cross the A591 on the footbridge and then following the obvious route to the summit cairn of Cunswick Scar.
Descending slightly further west and then bending back to the outward path taking a tiny variant slightly further north when leaving the golf course.
Conditions: a still cool 3C day with high cloud.
Pub: the Eagle and Child, Staveley for Brathay Gold and lunch, joined by Paul Taylor on his way to an orienteering training weekend.
