Sun 23 Sep - A Troutbeck Round

Start: 9am outside Troutbeck church (NY414028) Please car share if possible as church goers trying to park too. There is additional parking on lane to left after bridge before church.
Length: Approx 9 miles
Ascent: Approx 550m
Time: 4.5 - 5.5 hours
Grade: 2 / 3

From the church we ascend to the Garburn pass. From here we ascend over Backstone Barrow to the summit of Sour Howes. Now we walk around the head of Park Beck to the summit of Sallows. We now desend gently down the Garburn pass to meet the Limestone track which we walk along to the bottom of Troutbeck Tongue. Now we climb steeply for a short time to the summit. We descend the South end of the tongue before returning along Ing Lane to Troutbeck and a well earned drink in the Mortal Man
