Distance: 7.7 miles Ascent: 1,500 feet
Weather: A dry day with some sun and a cold breeze

Marie

Comments: From the summit of Nicky Nook we took the path north-east to Fell End. Continuing on to Grizedale Bridge we found a useful bench - in good time for a coffee break. A little road walking was then needed before taking the path to Barnacre Moor and down to Burns Farm. It was then an easy walk past the covered reservoir and through Pedder's Wood before arriving back in Scorton.

Marie gets ready to continue the walk - I think she's feeling a bit cold!
