Edith was back in action today so after breakfast it was a quick run around the bay to Grange over Sands. We left the car near the Golf course on what is called the Meathop Road. There are two reasons for this, the first is that I abhor paying to park the car and second it would add a little bit onto the walk which was not that long. From the parking space we walked along the promenade to Grange entering the village at the railway station. After a look around the ornamental gardens with it's duck pond we made our way through the town and up the Grange Fell Road to gain access to the path to Hampsfell. We took the path that leads to Fell End first and then followed the ridge northwards to the Hospice at the summit. From the Hospice we headed northwards again until we met a cross wall. This we followed eastward until we met another wall which we followed southwards till we picked up a path leading down to Eggerslack Wood. We descended through the wood to exit onto the B5271 which we followed back into Grange.

and to Ingleborough

From the Hospice we headed northwards for a while

The views to the north were fantastic , far better than any picture can capture

When we reached a cross wall we followed it east then south to take a path down

Our path took us into Eggerslack Wood

Descending through the woods we even managed to get some Hazelnuts for Christmas

We were soon back in Grange and ready for a cuppa and scone
