Gummer’s How

Walked on 30/05/2006

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: Sunny spells, but cool. 12oC.

The school holidays have started again and it was nice to get a little bit of sunshine after the rain of the weekend. When I ask Connie where she wants to go, she always replies ‘Gummer’s How’ – so that’s how we ended up here today. A great choice, I must say!

In an odd turn of events, Casper is now the dog off the lead as Angus has given up answering any commands! I think he is a bit 'Mutt and Jeff'.

Plenty of people waiting for the steamer to arrive at Lakeside, looks like the steam train has just pulled in from Haverthwaite on the left.
