Crofton - Parton - Aikton - Crofton
7.5 Miles Grade 4/5
Leader: Elizabeth Allnutt
07856833257
Start: Sands 9.15am
Crofton Fishing Lake Car Park (CA5 6PX) 10.00am
9:15am at the Sands or 10:00am at the car park for the Crofton fishing lake, CA5 6PX. Take the A595 at the Thursby roundabout and turn right after approximately 1 mile under the Crofton arch. The fishing lake is about
half a mile further on on the right, opposite the entrance to the
Crofton stables cafe.
An easy walk through fields and on country roads on the Solway Plain with good views of the fells. A fair bit of history, probably lots of mud and some rather dilapidated stiles and bridges which will need careful climbing. Tea at Crofton. The Cheese Shop is also worth a visit

Walk 1
Glenriding Dodd - Sheffield Pike
07899876010
6 Miles Grade 2
Leader: Christine Milton
Start: Sands 9.00am
.
Due to the time of year, I have decided to keep this route short to enable us to take our time without rushing to be back within day light hours. We park at Patterdale Cricket Club (£5 Honesty Box). Walking along the roadside into Glenriidding will give our legs a warm-up before we reach The Rake, which is our route up to Glenridding Dodd 442 m and the first Wainwright of the day. It’s fairly steep, not as bad as the name may imply & nothing technically difficult – we can take our time and take lots of opportunities to “take in the view”. We may well have a coffee stop either on the way up or at the summit. Retracing our steps a short way, there is a little more gentle climbing to reach our next summit of Heron Pike, 612m not a Wainwright, but a Birkett with probably the best views of all three peaks. Its then on to Sheffield Pike, another Wainwright and our highest summit at 675m - probably the lunch stop. After this it’s all downhill. Down to the footbridge near the quarries, and then descending to the valley floor where we will take the path back to Glenridding for refreshments before returning to the cars. No scrambling on this walk though a couple of places where a free hand would help. If the weather is kind there are amazing views to be had and a good opportunity to work off the excesses of the Christmas party
It could be icy - please bring micro spikes if you have them
Hope to see you there
