This time was going to be different. Armed with a print out from Google maps (more reliable than Dave's sense of direction hopefully) we set out from the car.
We first went down to the fire pool where you could see across towards Snaefell.
There was some ice on the pool but it was only thin. The temperature had been showing as two degrees when we arrived in the car park. We decided to consult the print out to ensure we were on the correct route. After some discussion, we came to the agreement that we should have turned up the path just after the car park so, we headed back and went along it.
As we went up the path, we came to an area we recognised - this is where we had gone wrong last time. We turned off the main path onto another broad path - how had we missed it? Soon we came into a more open area with views across to Langness
We then entered Corlea plantation
As we got to the far side of Corlea, we paused to decide which way to go next. The print out didn't reach this far
We took the path to the right after consulting the map and walked along looking for a track that would lead us down to Cringle. After some time, we found a track through the trees. It was quite dark and wet under the trees so, no pics. After some time, we emerged by Cringle.
After lunch we headed back towards South Barrule, walking along the road for a short while before picking up the path then partially retracing our steps. It was a nice walk and the weather was more pleasant than had been forecast.
