Walk B, Sedbergh, 12th August

Walk lead by Andrew Phillips 8 miles, total ascent 886ft, numerous Stiles.

The walk commences at Joss Lane car park (toilets available, voluntary cash donations), and proceeds south through the town centre and the School grounds to Birks, where we join the Dales Way. This path follows the River Rawthey to the A683, which we will cross, and join a path towards Ingmire Hall. The route then passes through “Ingmire Park” and continues on across fields until it meets the Dales Way again, and follows the River Lune as far as the Lune Viaduct (a disused railway viaduct, but still an impressive structure). We will continue north along the Dales Way via Low Branthwaite to Bramaskew, and turn southeast to High Branthwaite and on towards Slacks Lane. A short distance along the lane leads to a path to Ash Hining and the hamlet of Under Winder, and on to Howgill Lane, which leads to Lockbank Farm (ice cream might be available here!). We will then
cross fields and arrive back in Sedbergh at Joss Lane.
