Distance: 7.5 miles (12km)
Time: About 3.5 hours (last stretch completed in darkness!)
We completed a trek through lovely woodland, now in full leaf, along the lakeside path at Talkin Tarn and on to the Blacksmiths Arms at Talkin village for a well deserved comfort stop before completing the loop back to Low Gelt. Toby was very excited by rabbits, Lee has now perfected the art of leaping (over streams and bogs), and we are all well versed in the following directions and finding prominent trees and impressive railway bridges!
Because of our stop at the pub we reached the last stretch through Gelt Wood at dusk, and can now claim to be experienced night time walkers. It was dark in the woods and very boggy and slippery down by the rushing waters of the Gelt. Another exhilarating hike by a tremendous team!
