It is the responsibility of each walker to make sure they understand where to park. If you are not sure where the car parking/meeting point is, you must contact the walk leader at the latest the day before the walk. You should not rely on mobile phones or postcodes. There is often no mobile reception near walk meeting points and postcodes are for the nearest place nearby but should only serve as a guideline. Please allow plenty of time to find a parking space so that walks can start promptly.
Description: we cross over Chapel Bridge and walk along the road until we get to Low High Snab, where we join the footpath along Scope Beck. We head onto High Snab Bank, over Blea Crags where there is a little bit of scrambling (nothing too difficult, my 10 year old Golden Retriever can manage) and end up on Robinson. We then walk round to Hindscarth. We then retrace our steps, follow Hindscarth Edge and end up on Dale Head. From there, we go down to Dalehead Tarn and follow the path along the stream all the way back to Little Town.
Please contact Nathalie on 07518 479409 by 10pm on Saturday 10 October if you are coming on this walk (text or phone only, I am not on Facebook). This walk is suitable for dogs but please make sure you keep your dog under control.
Please check the weather and bring appropriate clothing (waterproofs and spare warm clothing), footwear and enough food and water. The leader reserves the right to turn away any walker not suitably equipped.
The leader may cancel the walk or modify the route dependent on conditions.
We strongly advise walkers to carry hand sanitiser and to touch as little as possible during the walk. We will walk 2m apart as much as possible. We will not be able to share any equipment, drinks or food. Please carry a mask in your bag in case it is needed. If we need to go through a gate, the walk leader will take responsibility for opening and closing the gate to save multiple people touching it. Car sharing will not be possible.
New members: please note the walk leader may ask for more information about your walking experience. This is to ensure you have the fitness required to complete the walk that is planned safely.
