Following two weeks walking
in Slovenia I decided on an easy walk today, and was
joined by Marie and Sheila to follow a well known route
over Nicky Nook. We were surprised to find that the top
end of Snow Hill Lane had been closed to traffic -
previous heavy rainfall had caused serious erosion at
the sides of the road. After visiting the trig point on
Nicky Nook we made our way to Grizedale Bridge then
round the reservoirs to Barnacre Moor. From here we
headed down to Pedder's Wood then decided to make our
way across to the Millennium Way for our return to
Scorton. |
