Apx 7.5 miles clockwise route with ascent of 1276 feet… this is a lovely moderate walk, with a mixture paths that maybe well worn, eroded and uneven. It maybe quite muddy in parts .. There are some steep descents that maybe slippy and uneven with tree root exposure, there are a couple of styles to climb over… we are climbing from the start of the walk to the trig point at Nicky nook .. there is a steep ascent up to Nicky nook with 110 uneven steps.. from here We walk through farm land and beautiful old woodland… we pick up a gentle climb bypassing Grizdale Lea reservoir and start our descent through Burns Farm and back to scorton..
