Walk lead by Peter Hitchcock
You may be pleased to learn that there will be little climbing today, rather a walk along a beautiful Yorkshire Dale to reach a stunning view amidst a former stone-age settlement; the view will be kept secret until we get there! The recce did involve a climbing/descending circular route but proved to be too hard and tricky for a day’s enjoyment, hence the more pleasant option.
From Sedburgh we head out north-east across fields and along tracks to then follow what is called “A Pennine Journey”. We shall reach our secret destination after a couple of hours (5 miles) hopefully for lunch before partly retracing our steps but criss-crossing the beck down the dale until we border the River Rawthey back into Sedburgh.
Two sections of the return will be ‘new’ but that’s all part of the fun on this 11 mile leg-stretch in ‘God’s Own country’!
