About this Event
On Sunday 29th November 2024 join us as we visit Scorton and then make our way to the hilltop vista of Nicky Nook. The summit of Nicky Nook is a modest 705 feet (215m) in height but, thanks to its position between Lancashire's Fylde and the Bowland Fells, it offers splendid views over Lancashire's coastal plain, Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland fells. Our route to the summit passes the shores of Grizedale Reservoir, the woods of ale and the excellent cafés of Wyresdale and Scorton. Our walk concludes back at the starting point car park. This walk is 9.3km with a total ascent of 228m and will last approximately 3.5 hours with breaks.
