School Knott

Walked on 22/03/2010

Start point: Cleabarrow (SD 423 961)

School Knott (OF) from Cleabarrow

Distance: 2.7 miles     Total Ascent: 110 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour     Start Time: 10:20

Weather: Heavy rain throughout, 8C

It was completely miserable this morning with incessant rain which meant I didn’t fancy the high fells at all. I had a local walk up to School Knott from Cleabarrow which is an easy and gentle amble across rolling, grassy paths. I walked part of the route with a lady who recognised Casper and Dougal not from this site, but from Lancashire Life magazine. Little Dougal showed an impressive turn of speed racing her dog around – like Usain Bolt cruising he was today.
