Circular Walk near Home

A shorter walk today and nearer home. Karen and I drove three or so miles to the hamlet of Gratton and parked. As we were putting on our boots, we were passed by a number of Triumph cars on some sort of run. We followed the road for a short while and then followed a Public Footpath through a farm yard and some fields until we again reached a lane. We followed this and left it at a sharp bend for a Bridleway which brought us to the a view point over Long Dale where we stopped for a short drinks break.
After the break, we followed Long Dale to the junction with Gratton Dale and along this dale until we arrived back at the road at Gratton which left a couple of hindered yards to bring us back to the car. After changing back out of boots we stopped off at the small cafe in Elton for a meal and then headed back a couple of miles to home in Winster.
