Our standard weekend circuit around Jenny Brown’s Point. Except that, on this occasion, I was on my own for some reason. And, having started across the same field to the Green, with the usual views to the Howgill Fells, I turned right rather than left on Hollins Lane and then walked across Heald Brow rather than down through Fleagarth Wood.


And then, once I’d rounded Jenny Brown’s Point, I decided to walk around via the sands.


When ‘the sands’, turned out to be much wetter, muddier and clingy (TBH would say ‘clarty’) than I had anticipated, I retreated to the rather sketchy path along the cliff top. At least until I arrived at Know Point, just as the sun was setting…

The cliffs and sands are stunning in that late evening light. Reminds me of the splendid evening on the beach with the fire at May half term.
I’ve recently seen a map which suggests that the area where we had that fire will become a ‘no go area’ for safety reasons. Which seems a bit odd. Also, impossible to police one would have thought.
Eh?? Safety reasons, any idea why. Some
The area by the Cove and also the area by ‘the dip’. Both get quite ‘sticky’ but I’m not aware of anyone getting stuck there. Nanny state!
The photo of Jack Scout Cove shows climbers on ‘The Onedin Line’, a VS traverse best done at high tide.
Might be interesting if the tide was very high! Quite a bit of vegetation to deal with by the looks of it. Locally, climbers seem to head to Trowbarrow, I’ve never seen anyone climbing at Jack Scout before.
Like everything else – things go out of fashion.
A beautiful evening!
It was, you can’t beat a bit of blue sky!
