| Walk: | Foxhouses Farm Cottages, Street Cottage, Wagon Road, Lower Dolphinholme. Wyre Way, Corless Mill, Street Bridge, Wyre Way, Guys, route changed at this point as footbridge has been removed, tunnel under M6 | ||
| Start Point: | Scorton picnic site | Grid Reference: | SD 504 503 |
| Distance: | 7 miles | Ascent: | 388 feet |
| Time: | 3 hours 45 minutes | ||
| Weather: | Overcast | ||
| Comments: | Initially a pleasant walk along tracks and through fields but very muddy for the last section of the Wyre Way. The footbridge over the M6 after Guys was removed some years ago and while there was a sign to follow the yellow markers - there were no yellow markers. Turning left after guys would lead to the tunnel under the M6. | ||
