Gummer’s How

Walked on 05/10/2008

Start point: Gummer’s How Car Park (SD 390 877)

Gummer’s How Car Park – Gummer’s How (OF) – Gummer’s How Car Park

Distance: 1.2 miles     Total Ascent: 150 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Sunny and clear. 12ºC.

Who would have believed that today would be as clear as it turned out after the prolonged and incessant rain of the previous day? It was to good an opportunity to miss for us to get out on a wonderfully clear day such as this so I even managed to get Connie to dust down her walking boots for the short but exhilarating climb to Gummer’s How.

There was fantastic clarity today, here looking eastward to The Howgills.

The summit of Gummer's How. Nice enough for a Frisbee game on the top for one family.
