Today's walk: Seat Robert (Wainwright's Outlying Fells p236)


no parking allowed at Truss Gap now so a folding bike is useful


the narrow road into Swindale - a car could be taken to the first wall ahead


a handy chain to lock the bike to by the river at Truss Gap

walls ahead - the point to turn sharp right


what a marvellous change in the weather today!
