Route Map
There were dull, grey skies this morning and
all views from the fells were obliterated by the clouds. All
was peace and tranquillity at Tarn Hows, that well known and
often visited beauty spot, when I arrived first thing. The
silence was deafening and there wasn't even an Angus-bark to
break it!

The track to Black Fell from Tarn Hows.
The denuded Iron Keld plantation. This
once densely forested plantation has now been felled and is being
returned to open fellside.
The approach to a misty Black Crag, the
summit of Black Fell. The trig. column is on the left of the ridge, the
south-east cairn on the right.
