I had recently walked this route with Mike Tinker but not on a beautiful day like today with lovely autumnal sunshine all the way and a carpet of leaves everywhere. Tom and I picked up Peter in Aglionby at 9.30am and headed out to Brampton for the climb up to the ridge. It was spectacular and soon warmed up to become a lovely day.

Tom and Peter getting over a stile. As you get older kissing gates are more appreciated.

The old Lanercost Bridge just before the Priory. We had planned to have Coffee and Scones at Lanercost Cafe but it was closed for redecoration.

At the end of the walk back in Brampton Elizabeth was waiting for us to join us for lunch.
On the Quarry burn section of the walk this Dipper kept us company for a while.
