Rain beginning to threaten
How to be happy in the rain: get an umbrella!The C walk headed through Barbon and then turned south below Barbon Fell along the way searching for sculptures by Andy Goldsworth. We then turned west towards Kirkby Lonsdale and High Casterton. Passing Casterton Golf Club and the north past Casterton School up to Beckfoot and through Kirby Lonsdale Golf Course back to Hodge Bridge and the coach.
It's called a squeeze stile for a reason.
