Overview

At the southern edge of the Lake District the last time the group were here the footbridge across Black Moss was under water. So "Plan B" was needed, and the walk to Latter Rigg saved for another day. Perhaps today is that day. Wherever today's walk leaders take us you are assured of a good days walking, with refreshment available on your return.
