The A walk will be led by Andy and is approximately 10 miles and 1700 feet.
The walk starts in Tebay and heads south passing over the grassy summits of Roger Howe and Powson Knott before reaching Blease Fell (1556 feet) with its wonderful panoramic views. From here, the walk turns north-east crossing Hare Shaw and Knott before dropping
down to cross Eller Gill and up the flanks of Rispa Pike. The route then passes over Uldale End and eventually drops down to Gaisgill. From here is about a mile and a half walk back to Tebay along a quiet road.
The B walk will be led by Lesley and is 7-8 miles and 1220 feet.
This walk is dependent on the amount of wind that is forecast for the day! Following in the footsteps of the A party but not at their pace, from Tebay follow tracks up onto Blease Fell going over Roger Howe and Powson Knott, over undulating and sometimes boggy paths. We then turn right to go down the side of the valley leading down to the "Sweetheart trees". Here we head back to Tebay on tracks and roads which are again undulating.
If it is very windy then I will still do a circular walk going up Weather Hill, down to Gaisgill, across fields to the river and Old Tebay.
The C walk will be led by Maria and is approximately 7.5 miles and 750 feet.
Starting from Tebay Services Northbound on M6. We go down the lane leading from the services to Greenholme, taking tracks via fields to Highwhinhowe then join the bridleway to the quiet backwater of Bretherdale Head, going along the top of the valley then dropping down to Bretherdale Beck. Followed by a quiet country lane stroll to Midwath Stead, Bretherdale Hall and continuing back to Greenholme and Bridge End where we take the footpath alongside Birk Beck to Old Tebay Bridge and make our way up into Tebay.
