, Wensleydale destination
CLITHEROE Ramblers travelled to Wensleydale for an 11-mile circuit of high fells to the north of
Hawes. Starting from Hardraw,
the group, led by Bob Frost, followed the Pen nine Way and the Heame Coal Road to the rarely- visited area of Pickersett Nab. With the permission of the landowner, the walk ers were able to cross open moorland to Pickersett Beacon and the standing
stones on Little Shunner v cii
Fell. While lunch was taken, a
section of the party took the opportunity to climb Great Shunner Fell and enjoyed a panorama of the surrounding hills and Swaledale stretching below. Descending by the aptly-named Grimy Gut ter, Hood Rigg and and Buttertubs Pass, the walk ers continued to Abbotside and the stunning view of the Wensleydale valley
