Wythop Round

Walked on 14/01/2011

Start point: Brumston Bridge (NY 185 293)

Brumston Bridge – Ling Fell – Old Scales – Chapel Wood – Lothwaite – Rivings – Sale Fell – Brumston Bridge

Distance: 4.4 miles     Total Ascent: 460 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 45 minutes     Start Time: 10:00

Weather: Windy and gloomy. 8°C

There was rain everywhere this morning, some of it quite strong. I managed to time this round of Wythop Valley to perfection though with the rain stopping as I set off and starting as I reached the car at the end. Those who follow the site regularly know this isn’t my favourite sort of terrain but it is a nice enough easier walk.
