| George V memorial on Scout Scar |
Off by eight o'clock to meet Andrew and
drive to Kendal. We parked by Serpentine Woods and walked the circuit
recommended by AW taking in Cunswick and Scout Scars.

| Andrew on Cunswick Scar |
There
were lots of people walking their dogs, of course. I remember doing this walk
on a very dry and hot day sometime in 2004 I think. Apart from a short shower
early today it was windy and cold.

| The lime kiln near the radio mast and car park |
We
visited the lime kiln just before reaching the radio mast and the car park on
the Underbarrow road, where we found a spot for our lunch sheltered from the
cold breeze.

| The south cairn on Scout Scar |
Continuing
the walk we went as far as the 5th mile marker on AW’s map, and then somehow
managed to find the right track from among many that took us down to the Brigsteer
road. There we saw a milestone in a similar style to the ones used by MacAdam on the Kendal-Shap road in the eighteen twenties. After that it was a tarmac walk back to the car.
All
in all a good day to end another year of fell-walking.
