The steepest climb of the day is out of the way first with a climb up onto Barbon low fell. From there we walk to Brownthwaite with a view of Casterton stone circle. We descend onto the fell road and then up to Bullpot farm and caving club joining the bridleway back down the fell into Barbondale. We across Barbon beck and enter Barbon manor woods, through Barbon manor park and back to the car. There is an option from Barbondale to walk an extra mile and half taking in Eskholme pike, an excellent viewing point of the Lune valley (weather permitting).
