Hike On Lancashire

Let's get a good long walk in ahead of the clocks changing and slowing us down!

There are great views from Fair Snape Fell on this walk as we go from Calder Vale around the back of the Fell for a steady but not too strenuous ascent.

On a good day you can see the peaks of Cumbria, Yorkshire and Lancashire..

We drop down a short, winding but steep track to the bottom of the Fell and come back on good tracks across the Bleasdale Estate.
On the tops there are short stretches of peat hags which can be wet and boggy so boots are needed for this walk.

Walk not ideal for dogs as there's a range of livestock en route.= cows, sheep and pheasants/ grouse.

Given the height and nature of the walk, it isnt suitable if there are high winds or heavy rain. In this instance, I will offer a low level alternative from the same point but will update the walk details the day before if that's the case.

A scenic circular walk starting in the middle of Grasmere to Great Rigg via Alcock Tarn and Heron Pike. We return to Grasmere via Stone Arthur.

In the event of bad weather, there will be a lower level alternative walk from the same location.

The first walk of our Reeth weekend away.

Our Sunday walk will be for those on the weekend only to give us some choice in route.

Swaledale contains lots of heritage mine sites which add a great interest to walks in this area. We will begin our walk along the Coast to Coast route towards Keld. This takes us past Old Gang Mills- smelt mills- and up towards Surrender Bridge. From there we will ascend Reeth High Moor along tracks and survey some more great industrial heritage of the area. We will drop down and use valley paths back into Reeth.
There is height gain up onto the moor but quite a lot of sections are decent tracks. Boots still needed for the moor though!

In case of heavy rain or high winds I may vary the route and keep lower level.
