13 miles with about 5 miles on rough path less terrain

A challenging 13 mile walk on the County Durham / Cumbria border. Some of the route is pathless, possibly boggy, but certainly uneven underfoot.

Close to the source of the River Tees, high up in the Pennines, our key objective is to reach the summit of Meldon Hill, overlooking Cow Green Reservoir, a huge expanse of water created by damming the Tees. The reservoir feeds Cauldron Snout, a cascading series of powerful falls which we will get close to with a bit of easy scrambling. 

A fabulous country pub will be waiting for us at the end.
