Gummer’s How

Walked on 10/06/2007

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 30 minutes

Weather: Sunny and hazy. 23oC.

We had a short but very warm walk up onto Gummer’s How today, the distant views were once again obscured by the haze. It turned into a bit of an adventure this one – we had to get through a herd of cows, swarms of flies, find buried treasure (a geocache), find a dog lead that we had earlier put down and find a lens cap that I managed to drop on the way up…oh, and then get back through the cows. There was even evidence that this herd had summited earlier!

Climbing upwards, thankfully through the trees and undergrowth where there were flies and a herd of cows - not so good when you have a couple of 'cow magnets' (Angus and Casper) with you!

Casper likes it too - you can see the flies buzzing around him in this shot.
