The walk will start from the car park. The Walk will then proceed past the pub and then sharp left up towards Thieveley Pike, (NO Brian we can’t stop here for a swift one). We then head up the hill where the gradient starts to climb quite steeply for about 200yds. If you look behind you it is possible to see the wind turbines on Black Scout appearing in full splendour. After descending to the village of Portsmouth, we will return to the car park along the opposite side of the valley. Food and Drink can be consumed in the Rams Head. Please ENJOY your walk. |
