Day7 Garrigill to Allenheads

12miles. Brighter start to the day. Everything dry thanks to great bunkhouse. Upwards immediately to the sound of the curlews and a few lapwing. Over a soggy moor to Nenthead, an old lead mining village, where we got supplies and a cuppa from a friendly community shop. Then onwards on Isaac’s tea trail ( not a lot of tea now) to Coalclough with more mining remains and then on a lovely moorland path up and down and round to Allenheads. A long village, at 1300 feet the highest in England. Into a fabulous and friendly tea shop, Hemmels before getting to our pub for night. 1770’s building with owners of same era. Cosy though.Read more
