Brief Description
An ever popular walk where the Hangers is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Walkers normally take a breather at Edward Thomas's Memorial Stone towards the top of the Shoulder of Mutton hill. If the visiblity is good, the vista to the south is well worth a good look there.
There is a short cut immediately after the lunch venue, cutting 5½ km of the walk should you wish.

Quite a cold day and a fair amount of mud, but superb food at the Hawkley Arms.
