View from Scout Scar
The A walk, led by Jim, is a clockwise circular from Kendal Leisure Centre. It follows the Kent to just past the Roman Fort then SW to the S end of Scout Scar fells. Then N along the edges (Burnbarrow Scar, Scout Scar, Cunswick Scar) to Bank End to turn E to Burneside then S alongside the Kent back to Kendal.

The B walk, led by Brian, starts at Milnthorpe and broadly follows the river Kent via Sedgwick to Kendal. It passes the Leisure Centre where the coach will be after about 8 miles and the extra 3 mile continuation around Kendal can be shortened.

The C walk, led by Steve, is a clockwise circular from Kendal Leisure Centre. It heads out along the line of the Lancaster Canal - it's quite surreal seeing canal bridges in fields - then through Sedgwick to a point overlooking Sedgwick Hall. A small length of minor road before rejoining a track that takes us back to Kendal.
