Walk for Sunday 17th February - Upper Eden Valley
Walk for 17 February 08
Upper Eden Valley
Length: 6.25 miles
Grade: not more than 2
Time: around 3/4 hours
Start times: Car share from Morrisons car park, Kendal at 10.15
Meet outside the Black Bull, Nateby (about a mile from Kirkby Stephen) at 11.00
Leader: Lucy Tel:07929125587 email:lhrwildman218@yahoo.co.uk
Much of this walk follows this quiet and picturesque part of the river Eden. It also takes in the ruins of Lammerside and Pendragon castles for anyone who likes a bit of history.
From Nateby we head across the River Eden to pass the historic Wharton Hall and then follow the course of the river Eden passing Lammerside Castle and probably arriving at what’s left of Pendragon Castle at about lunch time. We turn to head back up the Eden moving away from the river to pass through Dalefoot. The walk rises a little through pasture and woodland before heading back into Nateby to finish.

Walk for Sunday 10th February - Hawes
Walk for Sunday 10th February 2008
Start: 10:30 Hawes large car park at the National Trust Visitor Centre.
Distance: 7 – 8 miles.
Time: 4 hours walking.
Fairly easy walk which starts at the upper end of Hawes following a river path. We then have a bit of a climb to Hardraw Force and then to the pretty Hamlet of Sedbusk. The route continues to reach the river again and finish up in Hawes for tea and cake or whatever you might fancy. Sorry I can’t give you more details, I have done part of the walk so can describe that but not the other part. Should be a fairly easy walk but bring all appropriate gear as normal. Hope to see lots of you there and hope the location doesn’t put you off.
Leader: Clare
Mobile: 07729021534
Home: 01748 812210
IF ANY BODY WANTS TO MEET IN KENDAL CAR SHARE WILL BE AT MORRISONS CARPARK LEFT HAND SIDE AT 9.00AM
