From Coomb Dod. With Alan & Kathy. My final Donald!! | Dangerous Dave | 29/10/2022 |
Parked on A701 at entrance to Kingledores Farm, I cycled up the valley, until the windfarm track on the right. I walked up this track to the first turbine, where I cut off west and contoured across the south slope of Broomy Law, they picked up a faint path along the fenceline to Coomb Hill, then onto Gathersnow Hill and Hillshaw Head. Stopped for lunch on wind turbine base, then followed the windfarm track to Coomb Dod. From here I dropped down to the sheepfold in the valley and walked back east along the valley back to the bike, then cycled back to the car. Dry all day, with clouds blowing through, 05:25hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 28/08/2022 |
