Walk lead by Brian Thorne, 10 Miles 750ft of ascent
 |
Scout Scar |
This is a delightful walk over a classic limestone plateau, with stunning views in all directions.
Leaving the coach at Kendal Sports Centre, we follow the course of the River Kent southwards before climbing up to cross the busy A591. Climbing again on field paths, we then descend slightly to the beautiful little church of St John Helsington, and take in the grand panoramic view across the Lyth Valley, to many of the major Lakeland fells.
Climbing once again up onto Scout Scar, we make our way to the Trig Point and then over to the “Mushroom” viewing point.
A short descent then leads us around the communications aerial and on to Cunswick Scar where we follow more field paths, cross the footbridge over the A591 and pass through several holes of the Kendal Golf club before reaching the town centre and well deserved refreshment.
