We cross Gilling Bridge to take the footpath to Hartforth. We follow Hartforth Beck to Whashton Bridge where we will have our coffee stop. We then head to Ravensworth.  From Ravensworth we take The path back to Whashton Bridge and on to Whashton Village where we will have lunch if it's too early in Ravensworth.
