Surrender Bridge Walk - 9th May 2017

Lunch at Kinning Mine

A brilliant walk in stunning, sunny weather starting from Surrender Bridge and heading up the Old Gang Beck track, then via the remains of Moor House Farm to lunch at the Kinning Mine area.  After lunch we worked our way down to Blades and after a short, sharp climb out of Blades worked our way back to the cars at Surrender Bridge.  Then down to the Punch Bowl for afternoon tea sitting outside in the bright sun.  In all about a 6 and a bit miles with 20 in the group.

We started out in relatively cool, overcast conditions, but the weather soon improved and the key feature of the walk was the gradual shedding of layers of clothing by all of the party members as it got warmer and warmer.  Thanks to Les and Sue for an excellent walk in near perfect conditions with wonderful views.
