Sallows

Walked on 18/09/2007

Start point: Troutbeck (NY 413 028)

Troutbeck – Garburn Road – Sour Howes – Capple Howe (515) – Moor Head – Sallows – Garburn Road – Troutbeck

Distance: 5.2 miles     Total Ascent: 470 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Clear and cool. 12oC.

After a dull start it eventually turned sunny and bright but it was so cold this morning. A step change I thought and Autumn is most definitely upon us now. This is quite a gentle walk and I managed to pick up a Birkett straggler – one that I had somehow managed to miss previously. I don’t know what has happened to the cairn on Sour Howes, somehow it has completely disappeared without trace.
