Sale Fell

A 4km late morning walk with James.

Route: leaving the car at St Margaret’s Church 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: a warm (23C) sunny day.

Pub: The Pheasant Inn, Bassenthwaite, for Lakes and Dales Bitter and Pale.
