           <description><![CDATA[
  Much of this walk is a delight. There is more road walking than usual because several tracks that pass through the low-level pleasing countryside, keeping you away from traffic, are deep in mud and should be avoided until next summer.

  Millom, overlooked by bulky Black Combe, stands on the sandy estuary of the River Duddon. In its heyday huge numbers of migrants came across the sands to work in the largest haematite iron ore mine
  in the world, much of which was smelted abroad. Ships for this were built at Millom and in the late 19th Century 1,500 sailed from Hodbarrow pier.

  Park in the ‘Fishermans’ car park on the A590, grid ref 315816 (where there are toilets), close to Barrow End Rocks on the OS Explorer OL 7 map. This lies at the north-bound end of the short dual
  carriageway; therefore approaching from Kendal is easy. From Ulverston you will need to wind round the south end of the dual carriageway – at Greenodd.
  The River Leven is about eight miles long. It flows out of the southern end of Windermere and is fast flowing from Newby Bridge to Haverthwaite, where this racing water powered numerous industries
  in the Leven Valley. It then meanders on to Greenodd where it is joined by the River Crake before flowing out into the northern reaches of Morecambe Bay.

  There are three Harter Fells in Cumbria, all providing excellent walking. This July ramble climbs to the summit of the Harter Fell that stands between and midway along the Duddon and Eskdale
  valleys – the loveliest Harter of them all in my view.

  In the ‘summer’ of 2012 when I see sunshine I grab a dog a pack of sandwiches and move quickly. I was literally going to make ‘hiking’ when the sun shone!

           <title>A glorious walk around shore at Askam-in Furness</title>

  This is a glorious level walk. It is essential to take the OS map with you and to read the tide tables carefully. The first part is nearly all on sand. The stroll through the dunes is a joy with
  sea holly and dune pansies beside the narrow paths. The return path is not nearly as clear as the map shows, but it is a very pleasant walk through pasture to Roanhead car park. Finally, you follow
  your outward route back to Askam.

           <description><![CDATA[  If you enjoy mountain scenery from the low level of a lovely lake or a tarn then this is perfect. There is also the waterfall of Skelwith Force against the backdrop of the Langdale Pikes. Once
  again I was lucky with the weather and late May 2012 was a joy.

  Park on the north side of the small triangle of grass and bushes in Woodland, grid ref 245896. Tuck well up on the verge as the lane is narrow and is used by large tractors.
