Footpath towards Gairs This was one of the hardest stretches we'd walked for ages.  It was extremely arduous -- uneven ground, tall grass, baking heat, arthritic knee and lagging behind my much younger walking companions.  We stopped stopped for a well earned rest and drink at Gairs before heading towards Howgill.
