Overview

From Lanercost the route heads north and joins Hadrians Wall path in an easterly direction towards Banks. We continue east as far as Turret 51b where we head south to Wallholme. Here we cross the Irthing and head west towards Crookstown. A little road walking will take us back to the car park at Lanercost Bridge.

There are several styles with one being a little rickety. It is likely to be muddy but there is some road walking to finish.

Distance is about 6 miles with about 500 feet of ascent and we should finish by 1.30pm.

Christmas treats will follow chez Payne's in Brampton where tea, coffee, mulled wine, Christmas cake, mince pies and shortbread will be on offer. All welcome.
