Nicky Nook - Scorton


























What a gorgeous day this was! I thought I had better take Gary to Nicky Nook as he was missing out for not having gone there. This turned out to be an 8 mile walk in 3 hours so we were walking quite quickly and half of that was road walking on the way back.
This little 700 foot hill is not a long climb but its steep enough for your body to know about it.
We started off the walk having to negotiate a herd of cows who were walking up and down the path and blocking the way and also a bull who thankfully was a bit dopey and somehow didnt even see us.
We then descended down the steep steps past the lake and through the picturesque forest. This brought us out towards a car park with fells on either side. It turned out to be 4 miles on the long winding road back to Scorton but although my feet were on fire it was well worth it :)
