November
Start: 10:30am
7.5 Miles / 12 km with 1150 ft / 350 m Total Ascent
Meet near the toilets on Gubberford Lane in Scorton (Sat Nav: PR3 1BL), ready for the usual start time 10:30am.
We leave Scorton along Tithe Barn Lane to Slean End. Then, instead of walking up Grizedale, we climb steeply up to Woodacre Pasture, then past Burns Farm, Moor House and the masts on Barnacre Moor, eventually reaching the road by Grizedale Lea Reservoir.
After crossing Grizedale Bridge, we head across the fields to Fell End, then south to Grizedale Reservoir before climbing steeply up and over Nicky Nook and back down to Scorton (and maybe a cup of tea).
Note - I didn't find any good lunch spots in the first half of the walk, so you may want a snack before the start.
