Overview

The walk will start in Talkin Village and take a minor road that becomes a track up onto the fell side below Talkin Fell and Simmerson Hill.  We then descend to the River Gelt and follow this downstream to a Weir.  Then we climb up to join the original track and make our way back to the village.

The walk follows minor roads and wide tracks for most of the time.  The ascents are gradual and will be taken slowly.
