Route Map
Today was an almost unseasonally warm
day, just like midsummer. I had a walk from Cockley Beck at the head of
the Duddon Valley up to Bow Fell and back along the Crinkle Crags. I had
forgotten how rough the terrain was, especially for a dog, but Angus
seemed to take it all in his stride. There isn't a full set of
photographs today as the camera battery decided to give up along the
Climbers Traverse on Bow Fell - I must remember to recharge it in
future! Hopefully the photographs I did manage to capture show the
flavour of the walk terrain and conditions.
Little Stand and Ulpha Fell from Moasdale. The final
route of descent was straight down the middle which was very rough - not
recommended.
The Scafells appear from the boggy walk
along Moasdale.
