Wednesday 9th April 2008

Start point: Woodland Fell road (SD 256 879)

Woodland Fell Road - Blawith Knott (OF) - Tottlebank Height (OF) - Woodland Fell Road

Weather: Long sunny spells. 8oC.

The southern Lakes had it good today looking at the weather further north. Furness and the surrounding fells basked in sunshine whilst the higher fells still looked decidedly wintry and we had a pleasant and enjoyable stroll across this largely unknown and often ignored area.

The Coniston fells and Blawith Knott from Heathwaite Fell.

Black Combe and Woodland.

Climbing to Blawith Knott.

Black Combe and the Duddon Estuary.

The Dunnerdale and Coniston fells from the first cairn. In the distance are the Scafells which were in and out of cloud all afternoon.

Angus and Casper on the top of Blawith Knott.

Angustus.

The Duddon Estuary from the summit cairn.

Lakeland sky.

Casper and Angus in Angus Tarn.

Not its real name of course but seeing as it doesn't have one of it own...!

Angus, the bark monster, in Angus Tarn (SD 266 886 if you want to find it)...

Heading for Tottlebank height.

Wool Knott and Beacon Fell from Tottlebank Height. There is a glimpse of Coniston Water from here with the familiar whaleback of Red Screes beyond. Those showers over the central fells look like snow to me.
