Dunnerdale Fells

Walked on 20/04/2007

Start point: Stonestar (SD 202 912)

Stonestar – Great Stickle (OF) – Tarn Hill (OF) – The Dunnerdale Fells – Stonestar

Distance: 3.1 miles     Total Ascent: 358 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 25 minutes

Weather: Hazy but warm. 17oC.

It was very hazy again today with the sun trying to burn through and making it quite warm. We stayed low on the quiet but lovely Dunnerdale fells followed by a cooling dip (for some of us anyway!) in the River Duddon.

Climbing the gully from Stonestar. I feel sure if this was in a more popular part of the Lakes it would be named Great Gully - so Great Gully it is then!

Looking down the Great Gully to the Duddon Valley and The Pike

Heading for Great Stickle there are many ancient cairns littering the area.

All bow to the great Trig. column'!. The summit of Great Stickle with Stickle Pike beyond.

Stickle Pike, again from Tarn Hill.

It's a mini-haystacks this one with tarns and views.

This edge catches the wind by the look of this hoary old tree. Casper looks decidedly filthy after a visit to a boggy tarn.

The Pike and Hesk Fell on the descent back into the Duddon Valley.

Angus is straight in the River Duddon.

It's just lovely here.
