Long Mire to Scar Side

5th July 2007

We drove to Orton for our next c2c stage. We followed a very wet path out of the village and across fields where we saw some young foals. We eventually reached the Roman road going across the moor and followed it to Long Mire where we joined the c2c. The sky was really threatening all round but we managed to stay dry all day. We followed a permissive path across Crosby Ravensworth Moor but missed seeing Robin hoods grave as mentioned on the map. It was quite a good walk. We left the c2c at Scar Side and walked along very wet paths back to Orton. We had a tea and cheese scone at the Tea rooms. The walk was only 13km but I was much more tired than I should have been.
