Route Map
It was lovely and sunny this morning when
I set off from Sandwick for a circuit of Boredale - so much so that the
legs were soon zipped off from my trousers to make the first walk in
shorts this year (was it really only a month ago I was on Harter Fell in
the snow?). This was Casper's first 'big' walk and he seemed to cope
okay, with a few tips thrown in from the master, Angus.
Beda Fell from Martindale.
Walking beside Howgrain Beck at the
start of the walk.
Martindale.
Winter Crag and Beda Head.
Gowbarrow Park across Ullswater.
Looking back to Hallin Fell from the
climb up to Beda Fell.
Boredale.
It's so warm today.
Winter Crag in the foreground with
Hallin Fell behind, Ullswater and Little Mell Fell in view beyond from
Beda Head, the summit of Beda Fell.
Enough heads for Cerberus? Casper's
first Wainwright on Beda Fell and (almost!) Angus' last (not forever,
only of the 214 count, of which there are 5 left).
Fairfield, Saint Sunday Crag, Helvellyn
and Catstycam from Beda Fell - some stubborn snow persisting up there.
Angus has a look over Boredale to Place
Fell.
The Nab across Bannerdale with the High
Street ridge beyond.
Bannerdale from Heck Crag.
Cloud shadow on Beda Fell.

A swim in Place Fell summit tarn for
these two as the weather closes in.
