Walk: River Dunsop, Brennand Farm, Ouster Rake, Trough House, Losterdale Brook
Start Point: Dunsop Bridge, Trough Road lay-by Grid Reference: SD 647 505
Distance: 7.3 miles Ascent: 1,108 feet
Time: 3 hours 40 mins
Weather: One of the hottest days of the year so far
Comments: Having completed this walk twice in a clockwise direction I decided on walking in the opposite direction today. The climb from Brennand Farm was quite tough while the rocky footpath ascending Ouster Rake took your mind off the climb.

Walking beside the River Dunsop . . .

where there is information about the water treatment

The climb up from Brennand Farm . . .

is quite steep

Ouster Rake can just be seen on the left

Stopping for lunch before we descend . . .

we have views across to the opposite side of Trough Road . . .

which we can see as we continue the dscent
