Walk 2

Lord's Seat-Broom Fell-Greystones

8 Miles Grade 2

Leader: Pete Rutland

07534358550

Start: Sands 9.00am

Parking at the Whinlatter Forest Park. Pay as you leave. Its one of the more expensive car parks so car sharing would be good. We head up through the forestry until we reach the open fell side of Lords Seat. (552m). From here we head NW to Broom Fell.(511m). Its then a drop down and onto Graystones.(456M).

This walk takes in 3 Wainwrights and Graystones is one which is a bit out on a limb so good to get it under your belt if your bagger. The paths are good and its forestry type roads through the Woods. There is no scrambling. I have graded this a grade 2 which in truth it isn’t . I have done this as there is some up and down which adds to the overall elevation. The downside to the walk, if it is one is that we come back the same way we went out.

PLEASE NOTE. Currently there is a lot of work going on in the forestry and some of the trials are closed whilst work is going on. Currently the trail to Lords Seat is open but this could change. I will check a couple of days before the walk to see if there has been any change. Please keep an eye on the website for any last minute changes as the walk may have to altered.

There is a good Cafe at the Centre and we have other options if its closed for after walk tea and buns.

Be there or be Square.
