We will follow the rough track of Walna Scar Road and then the path along ridge to Dow Crag. There is a second 500 foot climb to the Old Man of Coniston. The paths are typical Lake District fell paths, relatively steep but not difficult.
There is the mildest of scrambling over the rocks near the top of Dow Crag, but not exposed. Excellent mountain scenery.
The leader will take a more cautious view of the weather forecast than usual, and will cancel if the weather forecast looks to be unsuitable for enjoying the higher hills. Check website on Monday.
Clitheroe Ramblers will also arrange a 5 mile walk closer to home on this Tuesday afternoon following their usual pattern.
