Start point: Verge parking at Green Quarter, Kentmere (NY 461 040)

Green Quarter – Skeggles Water – Hollow Moor on Green Quarter Fell (OF) – a nameless summit 1370′ – Green Quarter

Distance: 4 miles     Total Ascent: 266 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: A raw, cold wind. 4°C

This morning was a big contrast with my walk to Orrest Head less than a week ago which was completed in heavy falling and deep snow – now the snow has almost completely disappeared at valley level, although of course it is still sticking stubbornly up on high. It was a bit of a grey day and it was as cold as it looks in some of the photos, especially in the strong wind.
