Start point, map and route information at bottom of page

The weather hasn't been in our favour, so we change plans and take a pleasant stroll through Whinlatter forest.
The first part of this walk is quite a steep pull up Kinn from Braithwaite, before we swing North into the forest.
The clouds are low, but here it is atmospheric amongst the trees.

Low clouds

A solid bank of low cloud - no views from Skiddaw today!
