 28-08-2022 - Outerside and Barrow from Braithwaite with Alison, Joe, Ana and Jack

 

Parking was in short supply in Braithwaite but we managed to find a suitable place on the A5292 very close to the start of the walk. We followed the path through the ferns, helping ourselves to blackberries on the way. The path eventually gives way to the track that follows Coledale Beck as far as Force Crag mine where we crossed the beck and headed up onto Outerside. On Barrow we had a relatively brief downpour to contend with - thankfully the only rain we saw all week.
