Distance: 4 Miles
Total Ascent/descent: app 350ft
Gwyn
and John Smith recced this lovely walk of 4.05 miles in fine, sunny but cold
conditions -- ideal for a good walk. It
is a circular walk which starts on a minor road with a gentle slope. After
about 1/4 mile we will turn off right on to a bridle path, still gaining height
for a further 1/2 mile when the bridle path flattens out. This is when the splendid views start (given
a fine day !) and these continue in almost all directions for the rest of the
walk -- a rich reward for the ease of the height gained -- starting at 400ft in
Ings and topping 750ft at the furthest point.
At the turn for "home" we take up a path across fields and
stone wall stiles into Grassgarth where the trail meets the aforementioned
minor road to drop down into Ings -- just in time for a well-earned pre- lunch
drink !!
It really is a super 4 miler, not hard work and with no
hard uphill work though care is needed on the first section of the bridle path.
