Gwyn and John Smith
recced this lovely walk of 4.05 miles on December 13th in fine, sunny but cold
conditions -- ideal for a good walk. It
is a circular walk which starts on a minor road with a gentle slope. After about
1/4 mile we will turn off right on to a bridle path, still gaining height for a
further 1/2 mile when the bridlepath flattens out. This is when the splendid views start (given
a fine day !) and these continue in almost all directions for the rest of the
walk -- a rich reward for the ease of the height gained -- starting at 400ft in
Ings and topping 750ft at the furthest point.
At the turn for "home" we take up a path across fields and stone wall stiles into Grossgarth where
the trail meets the aforementioned minor road to drop down into Ings -- just in
time for a well earned pre lunch drink !!
It really is a super 4
miler, not hard work and with no hard uphill work though care is needed on the
first section of the bridlepath.
