Healey Nab

Mike,

My husband and I have just returned from the walk up Nealey Nab - however, we got rather lost!

We followed your instructions well until we got to point 4 where you mentioned "looking for a footpath coming in from the right and 2 going off to the left in the space of 10 metres". We did see a footpath on the right but there was only one footpath on the left a few yards further on. We took this path but there was no other path going up to it and there was no disused small quarry workings. We got completely lost at this point! We wandered around the top of Healey Nab for some time and eventually found the cairn and took the path down from there and we did manage to find our way back to White Coppice after some time.

I do have to say though that we did enjoy our walk - eventhough we managed to miss the pub lunch at the Yew Tree Inn 20 minutes late for lunch - they finished serving at 2 p.m.!!

All the best,
L&A

What day !

Set out for a pleasant walk from Great Langdale, Chapel Stile, Little Langdale and Blea Tarn yesterday. Started well, but Oh, my, did we get wet. You knw the sort of rain that gets up your sleeve cuffs and down the back of the neck ?

Enjoyed it all the same, and claimed a couple of caches into the bargain
