Overview

Today’s walk is over varied terrain, hopefully with some lovely views.  We begin with a walk on a country lane before a steady climb looking down onto Charleton Gill, then up onto Little Sca Fell and then Great Sca Fell. We turn and head down a little way and then up onto Meal Fell. We then head down to Trusmadoor. This is a steep path but quite open. We then traverse around Great Cockup, through the heather covered hillside. The path is narrow and there are quite a few heather roots to catch you out, so a walking pole could be useful.

We walk out onto a lane and after a short way we turn across fields, eventually passing Overwater Hotel and back along a lane to the cars.

For those who would like to, we’ll be going to Mae’s Tearoom in Uldale afterwards.
