Route Map
It was teeming down with rain in almost
the whole of the Lake District this morning, but miraculously I managed
to drive through it all and find a dry and (for a while) bright spot at
the northern end of the National Park, where I had a walk around the
Wythop Valley to Ling Fell and Sale Fell. There were some views from
here today, but the Skiddaw massif and in fact all the higher fells were
cloaked in damp clouds. At least I managed to stay dry until the very
end when the weather finally caught up with me as I descended back to
Brumston Bridge.
Looking across to Sale Fell from Ling
Fell, complete with a rare hint of blue sky.
Looking north-west over Setmurthy
Common.
Looking towards Broom Fell from the
summit of Ling Fell, the low cloud hanging on Thornthwaite Forest. The
trig. column is topped with a sheep skull!
The Sentinel.
No-one shall pass!
Binsey from Ling Fell.
Yes, it's definitely Spring.
Ling Fell across Wythop Moss from
Burthwaite Heights.
Ullock Pike and The Edge with Skiddaw
lost in mist behind.
Lord's Seat and Broom Fell across the
Wythop Valley from Chapel Wood.
Lord's Seat.
A dark and brooding Dodd.
The Skiddaw massif and Bassenthwaite
Lake from Lothwaite.
Sale Fell from Rivings.
Here comes the rain... Ling Fell in the
cloud from Sale Fell.
Wythop Beck.
Someone couldn't resist getting in
there!
Cottages at Wythop Mill.
