The walk is around 12 miles long. We follow the track up that skirts around Winder and up to Arant Haw (605m) We then carry on up to Calders ( 674m) and the Calf (676m) we then double back along the track slightly and follow Red Gill Beck down to the top of Cautley Spout, We head down the side of the Spout in the valley and then head back to Sedbergh along parts of the old drove road and foot path that skirts the foot of the Howgills. This last 5 miles is fairly flat walking.
Walking time should be around 5 hours depending on pace and how long we stop for lunch
There should be time to partake in the usual refreshments in Sedbergh at the end of the walk.
