 PLEASE CAR SHARE. PARKING VERY TIGHT
 
After trying to do this walk in Mar 24 but heavy rain and high winds preventing this. Am having another go.
We will park at the foot of Cat Bells near Skelgill. We will walk along the track passing Little Town and Goldscope Lead Mine. Up a small incline at Low Snab and along the track to the dam, where we will have lunch. Then over Scope Beck and along , passing Little Town again, and Newlands Church and back to the cars

We then cross the road and take field paths climbing steadily to Winder Hall farm, another listed building. From here we make a short, easy ascent onto Heughscar Hill, a favourite viewpoint overlooking Ullswater.

Xmas Lunch Walk. Sunday 15th December 2024
Walk Followed by Xmas Lunch at Brampton Golf Club
Talkin Fell
5.5 Miles Grade 3
Walk leader Astrid Carss.
Start: Sands 9.00am
 
Free roadside parking near the church in Talkin village. We will walk down the lane and head up towards Talkin head.
There's a steady incline through Hynam wood along good paths. Can be a bit boggy at the foot of Talkin fell.
A steep incline and a couple of stiles brings us to the top of Talkin fell at 1250 feet. Splendid views on a clear day, with some nice cairns 🩶 and a trig point. We can stop here for a snack, a rest and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
On the way back we will circle down towards the lower path and along the river Gelt. Then another slight incline after passing Hynam bridge, up through the woodland. Back via Talkin head and a quiet country lane to the cars.
If there's lots of time to spare we could pop to the blacksmiths arms for refreshments. Then finally make our way to the golf club in the cars for Christmas lunch 🎄
 
Merry Xmas everyone!  Astrid.  🤶
