Start/Finish: Astley's Plantation car park near Newby Bridge
Terrain: Rocky paths, steep in places
Distance: 1 mile
A short walk on Gummers How with Carole, Julie, Stewart and the dogs. Whilst Stewart and I went to the top with Bentley, Fudge is finding it hard going these days and the girls were happy to stay with her at lower levels until we got back. The summit isn't far from the car park and we were soon at the top and on our way back down. Although the walk is straightforward, there are some awkward sections near the top which require hands just to steady yourself, especially when the wind is strong.
The route doesn't need any description, just a straightforward path leading upwards to the summit with a choice of routes near the top. We headed directly for the summit trig point, coming down via a different path which took us further round before returning to the main path.
