Walked on 10/12/2004

Start point: Newby Bridge (SD 369 859)

Newby Bridge – Point 585′ – Bigland Barrow (OF) – Canny Hill – Newby Bridge

Weather: Misty and cool.

Today’s walk follows Wainwright’s Bigland Barrow chapter in his book ‘The Outlying Fells of Lakeland’, page 70. There were no views to speak of today due to the persistent mist; I even managed to head the wrong way on the return leg!
