Gummer’s How

Walked on 01/04/2015

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: 20 minutes     Start Time: 15:00

Weather: Very windy, 5°C

It was pretty windy today even at valley level, of course this was even worse higher up (which I was expecting) but I took the dogs up to Gummer’s How which is an easy walk at any time. Of course it turned into a quick sprint complete with snatched photos – at least the fresh air was refreshing!

Blue skies at the start of the walk, but they were fleeting...very fleeting!

The wind was gale force now at the summit column of Gummer's How.

Snow, hail, sleet - we had it all!

Hanging on for dear life - come on, run.
