Monday 25th May 2009 (Bank Holiday Monday)

Start point: Birker Fell road (SD 171 977)

Seat How (Birker Moor)  (OF) from the Birker Fell road

Weather: Sunny and warm. 20oC.

I thought I would keep away from the traffic and crowds today with a walk across Birker Fell up to Yoadcastle. The weather was beautiful - really warm with a slight breeze. I'll blame it on the weather that I didn't quite reach my intended destination...

The track to Devoke Water, Seat How is the limp in the centre.

The view towards the Scafells from Tewit Moss, a really boggy area and not a recommended route.

Seat How and Water Crag complete with frolicking Casper!

What a beautiful day up on the top today.

Having a look over Devoke Water.

A panoramic view of Devoke Water. It was so warm and peaceful here today, I had a lie down for a little while enjoying the sunshine...

...and the view when I eventually woke up! All motivation to carry on had gone now so I opted for a quick return.

Hesk Fell, Stickle Pike in the distance.
