Sallows

Walked on 01/02/2005

Start point: Troutbeck (NY 413 028)

Troutbeck – Garburn Road – Backstone Barrow – Sour Howes (283) – Sallows (284) – Garburn Road – Troutbeck

Weather: Clearing throughout the walk, ending with sunshine and blue skies!

Today’s walk is a short round from Troutbeck to two tops on Applethwaite Common, namely Sour Howes and Sallows. The weather started clearing almost as soon as I set off after initially being rather overcast…hooray! There are superb views along almost the whole length of Windermere and along Troutbeck Park throughout the walk.
