B Walk at Sedbergh

Walk Leader:  Terry Simmons
Total Distance: 9 Miles
Total Ascent/Descent: 2600ft

Walk Route [anticlockwise]
Route elevation


GWYN ON OUR DESCENT FROM BRAM RIGG



I estimate a time of approx 5.5 hrs to cover an estimated length of up to 9 miles with the highest point being Bram Rigg at 2100 ft [Sedbergh 400+ft]


This covers an ascent for most of the pre lunch period followed by a descent with wonderful views in the afternoon we will have a few slight rises when we get to the base of Swarth Greaves, this is due to having to keep to the edge of the fells down to Crossdale Beck where we re-join the path to take us back to Howgill Lane and on into Sedburgh.


This is a challenging walk in the early part but subject to weather very satisfying.
