Due to recent weather conditions ground conditions in remote sections of this route are highly likely to present a significant risk to the safety of walkers.
We are the Darlington Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
From the Hare and Hounds, the walk takes us uphill following Middlehope Burn then across Hangingwells Common (open moor) to Rookhope. Return via old railway track bed round Northgate Fell to Westgate.
