Claife Clamber

Walked on 29/08/2008

Start point: Far Sawrey (SD 379 954)

Far Sawrey – Moss Eccles Tarn – Three Dubs Tarn – Far Sawrey

Distance: 3 miles     Total Ascent: 140 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Overcast but warm with the odd spot of rain. 20ºC.

The dreary August weather continued today although it was warm. The fells were covered with low cloud so Connie and I had a walk around the tarns in Beatrix Potter country around Sawrey. This is a great low level walk and we enjoyed it immensely despite the odd shower and thick mud!

Crossing Wilfin Beck. Casper takes the hard way, there is a footbridge to the left.

Reflections on a still Moss Eccles Tarn. Moss Eccles Tarn is man made and a place Beatrix Potter spent a good deal of time fishing.

Connie, Angus and Casper seem to be enjoying the rest.

All that water is irresistible to these filthy hounds. Good! It might get some of that mud off them.

Boat House. 1909 it says on the date stone.

We had a very muddy walk from Three Dubs Tarn, through this large area of deforestation.
