Troutbeck Tongue

Walked on 08/10/2010

Start point: Nr Town Head, Troutbeck (NY 414 037)

Town Head, Troutbeck – Ing Lane – Ing Bridge – Hagg Bridge – Troutbeck Tongue – Hagg Bridge – Ing Bridge – Ing Lane – Town Head, Troutbeck

Distance: 4.7 miles     Total Ascent: 291 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours     Start Time: 10:10

Weather: Sunny and warm. 20C

Wow, what a difference today in the weather as it really was unseasonably warm and it was great to see the sunshine once more. All the paths around here still seemed very wet though after the recent heavy rains and the return leg past the old slate bridge was a rather squelchy affair to say the least.
