Gummer’s How

Walked on 19/07/2011

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     Start Time: 10:55

Weather: Warm but overcast. 18ºC

School’s out for summer now and Connie was keen to get up to Gummer’s How once more, especially as we ended up inside most of the day yesterday in poor weather. It was warm enough but the views were poor in low lying mist – at least we missed the rain.

Who's idea was this? Just brill-i-ant in an area where many people walk with dogs and children - they will now have to skirt around herds of cattle and hopefully not get trampled in the process.
