7½ miles (12km) with 500ft (152m) Total Ascent
Meet at the car park on Beacon Fell (Sat Nav: PR3 2NL), ready for the usual start time of 10.30am.
The walk will start from the car park on Beacon Fell. Unfortunately there is a small fee for parking.
Initially we will walk down off the fell through Crombleholme farm and then down through Fell Side farm. Having crossed the Whitechapel road we will cross the fields to Higher Barker Farm. We will then walk close to the cross keys inn which is currently in the process of being renovated into a hotel with motel type accommodation. Our next farm is Lower Trotter Hill which will lead us on near Throstle Nest and then down to the river brock. We will then follow the river Brock up past the scout camp at Waddacre and we will then leave it to reach Wickens barn and then up the road to Heatherways and back to our starting point on Beacon fell.
