| Comments: | 14 walkers set out from the roadside car park on the outskirts of Holme. We followed the Lancaster Canal out to a point where we had to cross the M6 motorway. Once over the motorway we headed towards Burton in Kendal but never reaching the village. We stopped for coffee on the canal bridge crossing. Continuing on some roadwork we eventually reached the the Quarry where we had our lunch stop. After lunch we set our direction line for home and the village of Holme. Passing crow Trees and then a steep climb up and onto Hutton Roof Crags. Following a well worn track we passed Clowthorpe Fell Quarry, and Holmepark Fell a path which took us back to the Lancaster Canal north of Holme. Following the canal path again we eventually reached the village and our starting point. Good day out was had by all. | ||
