Beacon Fell

Walked on 22/10/2008

Start point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Sunny spells. 12ºC.

It was really too good to miss a walk this lunchtime up to Beacon Fell to catch some glorious Autumn sunshine and wonderful golden views. The box at the top has disappeared again so perhaps Connie and I will get up there again next week to replace it if we get the opportunity.
