Kicking off “5 Hikes” with a long overdue hike…
Cockermouth Forest is part of the Forest Society’s Forest Reservation Challenge for the Lakes Region. However, as it’s over an hour drive from home, I had perpetually avoided it for bigger priorities or more convenient trails. All the other FRC hikes have been checked off for several years, except this one.
I was determined to finish it this year. And at last Hummingbird and I tagged it today, just in time to count it as a dual checkmark for the annual 5 Hikes Challenge. I am glad to finally have Cockermouth done, and as always was grateful for the company.
