For anyone new to Staveley (12 miles from J36 M6) this`ll be a moderate leisurely paced 10 miles (1250ft sometimes steep cumulativeĀ ascent) walk up to its two tarns for lunch (and a paddle if it`s š„hotš„) with earlier/later views over Lakeland`s Kentmere valley & Lower Longsleddale plusĀ a charming Dales Way River Kent riverside return back to the cars after a refreshment stop at The Eagle & Child per enclosed website (or "Wilf's") just before the end of the walk if wished.
Meet by Staveley`s Spar shop (LA8 9LN per shop website) on Main Street through the village (public loos over the road by the bus lay-by) at 1030 after roadside parking in the village - usually further on past the bus lay-by.
I`ll wear a yellow hat for ID and please text (only) if you have any queries etc.
Please note you walk at your own risk and you (and any guests) should always carry emergency contact name/number details in your wallet/purse/phone in case Emergency Services should ever need them.
Well behaved/quiet dogs are welcome on this walk but must be on a short lead at all times.
