May 19, 2024,Reeth , Fremington Edge loop

A walk from Reeth with a steep ascent up to Fremington Edge ..excellent views . Some issue with the path behind Castle Gate Farm .. marked as a public footpath on my instructions.. however signage said otherwise .. we back tracked and followed a path i could see on Komoot ! Still a very enjoyable walk .
