Dunnerdale Fells

Walked on 13/09/2005

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: Overcast and breezy. 17°C.

Back to nearer home today with a walk up to the group of small, rough fells known as The Dunnerdale Fells lying between the Duddon Valley and Lickle Valley . The clear weather of yesterday has disappeared again and the rain was threatening but thankfully it stayed off. The bracken is noticeably turning brown now – we should know, we waded through enough of it today!
