The weather did not disappoint and I think I spent most of the night listening to the rain, muttering to myself I hope those ponios are ok. Of course they were, they were in a lovely field with lots of grass. A real luxury for Ryan practically as his diet is normally restrict to keep him trim! Feeding horses is an art and it does not take a lot to send the balance the wrong way! We were going to ride high up to Burnmoor Tarn, but the weather was most defiantly against us so we decide to ride on a loop around and over Muncaster Fell. Most of this route is promoted as the Eskdale Trail from Muncaster Castle so hopefully it should be straight forward for a rainy day. With a lot of the route under trees we hoped that this would provide some shelter from the weather! From the Woolpack we turned right down the lane past Dalegarth Station and then took the lane that leads to the bridleway past Dalegarth Hall. You will then pass through Low Wood and continue onto Forge Bridge....
A blog recording my rides with my orange horse and bay pony, which I hope will inspire others to explore more on horseback. Routes takes in trails in the Lake District, Cumbria, Yorkshire Dales and North Lancashire and are open to all - walkers, cyclists, equestrians and 4x4 off road wheelchair users. Sometimes I may also blog about other outdoor access issues, being a keen campaigner on such matters! To see all rides and blogs click on 'More Posts', labels or use the search tool.
