Continuing the dialling down from big Nuttall walks like 5 of them on the Burnhope Reservoir round, this takes the northern most of that round, Dead Stones, and adds Flinty Fell, to make an easy 7.9 mile round with some interest. That comes right at the start as, starting from the car park in Nenthead, […]

Nenthead Nuttalls 1: The Dodd and Killhope Law.
If you, like us, don’t fancy 13.5 miles of moor bog trotting to bag three “Nuttalls”, as their book chapters 10.1 and 10.2 do, these two walks allow two each and shorten the moor walking. For the first we started at Killhope Cross, at 623m actually higher than The Dodd, and followed the fence over […]
Harrisend Fell to Grizedale Head, Bowland.
Another new Bowland walk for us, although a 15 minute drive away in this plague year. Really a longer lead in to Haythornthwaite Fell walk, although as an extension to that would make it a very long round. This is 6+ miles and 1100 ft of ascent. From Grizedale Bridge car park, Nether Wyresdale, take […]
Addition to the “Lune Valley Walk”
Doing this walk on the north bank first, on the return leg the Wenning can easily be forded with “crocs” or sandals where it joins the Lune, cutting off the diversion on each side of it to Hornby and back. That is, at present in our drought! From here the old permissive path carries on […]
Another Lune Walk from home, Caton to Hornby return.
At just over twelve miles this is our longest local walk yet, and is more varied than it may seem, and although mostly easy walking, between Aughton and The Snab on the north side there is a definite obstacle course feel to it. Reverse the end of the walk “Caton Moor circular” of March, to […]
A River Lune “five bridges “walk. Caton to Halton circular.
From Brookhouse to Halton and back via five bridges, Lawson’s Meadow and Gray’s Seat makes a pleasant nine mile outing with plenty of interest. From the Black Bull head to the Lune down Holme Lane, across the main road and by track and path to the Waterworks bridge. This, Bridge 1 for you, carries four […]
