Title: TR - Sour Howes and Sallows from Kentmere
Post by: Seferix on 12:57:20, 01/03/18

Today we walked up to Sour Howes and Sallows from Kentmere. It has been a few years since I was last up here and even though they are quite low and grassy they are lovely fells to walk.

Distance: 10.6km (6.58 Miles)
Ascent: 529m (1736ft)
Time: 4 Hours 7 Minutes

Nice TR Seferix and some superb phots.

I always feel very over-whelmed by Sour Howes from the car park at Troutbeck.

Cheers
