Undermillbeck Common

Distance: 7.5 miles
Ascent: 500m
Weather: cloudy,  cold wind
Met: friendly blue faced Leicester sheep, a very friendly robin and a (quite shy) deer.
Saw: buzzards, colourful sheep.
Feet: bit wet
Today's walk was almost the reverse of our Christmas Eve walk, without the trip out to the ferry landing.
We went along the Dales Way as far as Hag End and Outrun Nook before turning off over to Gilpin and the green lane around the common.
It was quite windy today and a little cold, so we didn't stop for lunch - just had an apple and a biscuit.
We followed the footpath to Lindeth Lane (not getting sidetracked by the little hill this time)  and then back over Brant Fell where, for possibly the first time ever, we followed the route of the cairns.
