Help needed

We have experienced trouble finding walks in the last two venues incurring several visits by walk leaders putting extra pressure on them. We are trying to cover all walks if you can help please do speak to a walk leader or we will have to reduce the number of walks we offer.

Kirkby Lonsdale, Walk C, 9th April 2022

C Walk lead by Jennifer Mathias just over 5 1/2 miles

This C walk is the third attempt at a route. The first had some very tricky stretches, the second seemed perfect until we found out that a lot of it was over private land with no permitted access. We will walk to the village for coffee at the Royal Barn then down to the river bank then across Devil’s Bridge and up to the the Roman Road before descending into Casterton. We will wander through the woods gasping at the devastation before taking a Lane through the golf course and caravan Park back to the coach

PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE TOILETS AT DEVIL’S BRIDGE. THE COST 40p BUT ARE ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY CARD PAYMENT

Kirkby Lonsdale, Walk A, 9th April 2022

Leader: Brian Thorne.
Approx. 12 miles.


 A fairly strenuous walk, starting from Devil’s Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale and climbing to the massive cairn on Brownthwaite Pike, with fabulous wide ranging views of Morcambe Bay and the Lakeland Fells. From the Pike, we continue to Bullpot Farm, home of the Red Rose Cave and Pothole Club, taking in some of the fantastic rock formations at Ease Gill. A lengthy moorland track leads us to the hamlets of Leck and Cowan Bridge, before field paths take us back to Devil’s Bridge and refreshment in Kirkby Lonsdale.
