B Walk from Ings 2014

Walk Leader: John Smith
Distance:  4 Miles
Total Ascent/descent: app 350ft


 Gwyn and John Smith recced this lovely walk of 4.05 miles 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 bridle path 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 Grassgarth 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 bridle path.
