Glenamara Park

Walked on 06/03/2007

Start point: Grisedale Bridge (NY 390 161)

Grisedale Bridge – Birks – Arnison Crag – Patterdale – Grisedale Bridge

Distance: 3.5 miles   Total Ascent: 520 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: Overcast. 10oC.

It was a bit grey and damp for a short walk circling Glenamara Park above Patterdale, but at least it wasn’t raining after the downpour of last night. Everywhere was very wet though and the wind on the tops was quite chilly with only brief glimpses of sunshine to provide some cheer.
