| Comments: | A very pleasant walk. Our leader led us over fells and pastures, through woods and heaths to regain Cunswick Fell via a short, sharp ascent at scar Wood. Although it was a cold day it was warm walking with the sun on our backs. Frost lay on the ground and surrounding fells had a covering of icing (snow). What spectacular views our leader provided! | ||
