A trek and a wild camp, a favourite activity. This hike takes the route of the Witton Weavers Way and scores for a Best Pub Stop Trailmix Award - The Clog and Billycock at Pleasington. This welcoming respite is a Freehouse with a good range of beers and excellent food in a great location just off the trail, below the Alfred Wainwright Memorial. The views from the top are well worth the visit to the memorial. Our overnight pitch on Billinge Hill was level and hidden from any of the several nearby tracks that criss-cross the summit. A dry night and a great sleep ensured we were fully recharged for closing the loop of this hike, back south to our Start/finish point at Abbey Village.

Fabulous day for this walk. Some wonderfully straight, tall pine trees on the north side of Entwistle Reservoir provided shade for lunch, followed by a snooze in a hammock.

A real treasure but don't dally too long at this beautiful location in Webster's Meadow. It's a long hike from here to anywhere you intend to go and, if you consider hiking back up via the track along Bleadale Water, prepare to be challenged crossing the Langden Brook and then Bleadale Water to get to the lesser used track on the eastern flank of the Bleadale. We almost made it across the deep boggy, rush filled area strewn across the valley floor with fast flowing Langdon Brook to contend with. But we turned back, a little traumatised and very frustrated that we didn't reach the dry track. We decided to take the safe track from the Langdon Castle ruins, east along the northern bank of Langdon Brook to the Water Works and Trough Road, where we were lucky to find a Trail Angel in the form of Mountain Rescue member, Graham. We were overstretched after our challenging, risky and exhausting attempts to get across to Bleadale Water track. Graham drove us back the ten miles by road to our car. We might have made it back via our other option over the Totridge Fell but the sun was going down and we might have encountered other unknowns and put ourselves through unnecessary stress and even the need for a full- blown Mountain Rescue. A donation to Mountain Rescue for Graham's help and kindly advice, encouragement to try again, with accompanying, sobering stories of others who have not been so lucky in these hills.

Strenuous in places, especially carrying our backpacks... Inc., food and water, and all for an overnight, 12kg pack weight.
