Ullscarf

Walked on 09/02/2005

Start point: Dobgill (NY 316 140)

Dobgill – Brown Rigg (285) – Blea Tarn Fell (286) – Standing Crag (287) –  High Saddle of Coldbarrow Fell (288) – Low Saddle of Coldbarrow Fell (289) – Ullscarf (290) – Wythburn Fell (291) – Dobgill

Weather: Grey and overcast.

Today’s walk is a round of Ullscarf – a remote and mainly pathless area which is mainly grassland. The weather was brighter than could have been expected with the sun making the odd appearance and no rain; cloud was prevalent above 500m.
