The route from Dalston is via Great Orton, Moorhouse, Hosket Hill, Beaumont, view of King Edward 1st Monument (11 miles) Burgh by Sands, Thurstonfield, Kirkbampton to Watchtree for 11's (16.5 miles) then Wiggonby, Aikton, Fingland to Bowness for lunch (26.5 miles) at The King's Arms, Bowness House Farm or BYO under the shelter at the end of Hadrian's Wall Path.
Return is via Boustead Hill, Kirkbampton, Thurstonfield and Great Orton to Dalston (42.5 miles)
At the signpost before Whitrigg, Bowness is 3 miles or, for the energetic, it is 9.5 miles via Anthorn and Cardurnoch.
There are some narrow lanes with thorn hedges and potholes so be prepared.
Do not forget your lights.
The forecast at the moment is light NE wind 7 gusting to max 14 mph.
