15 walkers. Good views, particularly
north and north east from the track between Jenny Gill and Back
Plantation. Considering the recent bad weather, conditions underfoot
were not too bad. Some fields were still water-logged. Plenty of
stiles, some high, but mostly well built; The exception being a
broken wooden stile between Jenkin and Peel's Laithe. (Photographs
