CGS members assisted with an earlier version of this GeoTrail, from Newbiggin-on-Lune. This GeoTrail starts in the new CWT car park and follows a GeoTrail designed for the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership Project. We will follow the trail over Smardale Fell, examining Carboniferous Ashfell Limestone and Sandstone, and return along the former railway line. About 5 miles, including open fell. GeoTrail leaflet available. Bring lunch.
