|   GLW1304: A 
                        Round At Royal Crook? Wednesday 
                        13th March 2013 It 
                        was a cold but beautiful day.  We parked by All 
                        Saints Church, 
                        Underbarrow, for a slimmed down version of BB1302. 
                         No Brocken Spectres today, though.  Essentially 
                        it was encirculation of (rather than a round at) Royal 
                        Crook Golf Course (otherwise known as Beckside) although 
                        we saw little of it. After 
                        passing the Old School House, we headed west across 
                        to Broom Lane then up by the woods, stopping for lunch 
                        in full sun and out of the cold northerly wind en-route. The 
                        track from Low Fold took us above the golf course and 
                        down to the back lanes.  After Low Cragg, we followed 
                        Chapel Beck south, startling Bambi en-route, then past 
                        Chapel House (is there a chapel there?) to the Vicarage, 
                        All Saints Church and the car. A 
                        pleasant round, mostly in open country with excellent 
                        long distance views, especially of the snow topped Howgills. Don, 
                        13th March 2013
