Overview

The walk starts in Glassonby, taking field paths via Addingham Church to Long Meg for  a coffee stop.  Walking along a good track, leads to Little Salkeld and further tracks lead to Hunsonby for a lunch break.  The next section should provide excellent views of the pennines but one track was waterlogged and muddy, so it may be necessary to go on the road.
