A long, but easy walk across fields. 5k; 1h 6min

A gentle walk with a couple of styles at the end. It is basically the same as To the Pub but with a walk across fields halfway up Flats Bank and no diversion up the old drove road to Gayles Hall. It does provide the same opportunity to cool down a hot dog on a warm day in Dalton Beck.
This old stone gatepost marks the way – an easy walk once you are over the style that links to Flats Bank (not so easy with a Labrador)
This is an even more difficult style to take your dog over – brute strength needed

You won’t get an enormous dog through here, but labs and German shepherds are ok. This is a turn to the left off the farm track. Head for the gap in the hedge to the SW

Head diagonally across the next field to another tight squeeze and a Footpath Sign. Then a few metres back to the old phone box
