Gummer’s How

Walked on 25/10/2006

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: Overcast and cool. 9oC.

It is school half-term once more, so it was a shorter walk today with a visit to one of our favourites, Gummer’s How. It was a typical Autumn day with it being rather cool and dull yet really quite clear with views to a distant Skiddaw. It was nice to get out early enough to have this lovely place (and views) all to ourselves – Connie and the boys certainly enjoyed it.
