Caudale Moor

Walked on 03/05/2005

Start point: Kirkstone Pass road (NY 412 063)

Kirkstone Pass – Woundale – St. Raven’s Edge (345) – John Bell’s Banner (346) – Caudale Moor (Stony Cove Pike) (347) – Threshwaite Mouth – Park Fell Head – Troutbeck Park – Troutbeck Tongue (348) – Kirkstone Pass

Distance: 10.1 miles     Total Ascent: 929 metres     Time Taken: 4 hours 20 minutes

Weather: Rain, heavy at times, clearing by the end. 12-15°C.

The heavens had opened when I set off this morning for the climb up to Caudale Moor on the eastern side of Kirkstone Pass. There were no views and it was quite miserable until I descended to Troutbeck where the sun came out – and of course shone on the places I had just been! This was a boggy affair due to the amount of rain and coupled with one or two tricky river crossings, it made for a very damp day.

This view of Woundale just about sums up the first half of the walk!

Waterfall on Woundale Beck. After this it got very confusing in the mist and I ended up getting slightly off course....
