Caw

Walked on 18/04/2008

Kiln Bank Cross – Park Head Road – Long Mire – Caw (OF) – Park Head Road – Kiln Bank Cross

Distance: 3.5 miles     Total Ascent: 300 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

It was hazy and grey this afternoon for a quick sprint up to Caw. Always a fave this one but nearly a year since I have been up there which surprised me when I looked. Obviously I need to get out more.
