Route Map
Weather: Sunny and bright.
Today's walk follows Wainwright's Brant
Fell chapter in his book 'The Outlying Fells of Lakeland', page 34.
'A visitor to Bowness with time to kill, or wishing to
escape from the throngs of day trippers, cannot do better than walk up
Brant Fell and, in solitude, enjoy its fine prospect of Windermere or a
simple scramble on its inviting summit rocks.' - AW

much discussion in the local press.

...I came across this fell walking cow in Colony
Country Store, Lindal-in-Furness. It is resplendent with walking boots,
fell runners and a 'Striding Edge' mane. It is from Manchester and was
part of the charitable
CowParade
'Lake Land Belle 2004'.
