Sale Fell

A 5km walk with Angie and Alistair (Lois in a work meeting back at the Rectory).

Route: leaving the car at St Margaret’s Church (above the Pheasant Inn) and walking through the churchyard to the gate to the left, crossing laterally to a footpath and then heading uphill to the right and then round the hill gaining ground slowly towards the west. At the end of the ridge (level with a wall) turning left uphill on clear 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: cloud somehow obscuring all views but the forecast rain not arriving.

Pub: the Pheasant Inn, Bassenthwaite, for Bowness Brewery Swan Blonde and lunch, joined by Lois.
