Description

I have made a slightly easier version of the route. Walking northwards toward Tebay, after the climb over Whinfell Common past the repeater masts, KenTeb One heads upstream along Borrow Beck (which looks very pretty!) but then climbs again over Roundthwaite Common before descending into Tebay. My route goes downstream and goes along the Lune Valley, mostly avoiding the fast A685.
From crossing the A685, I have headed south in order to cross the River Lune, then followed the valley up to Lune’s Bridge. This is a pleasant 1.9 miles section. Following the A685 here would have been 1.0 mile along a fast road with very little verge. North of Lune’s Bridge the route follows a lovely new gravelled footpath away from the main road.
KenTeb Three is about 0.9 mile/1.5k shorter than KenTeb One, and has 400 feet/120 metres less climbing
