Loughrigg Fell

Walked on 09/05/2007

Start point: Rydal (NY 365 062)

Rydal – Loughrigg Terrace – Loughrigg Fell – Loughrigg Cave – Rydal

Distance: 4.2 miles     Total Ascent: 420 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 45 minutes

Weather: Overcast. 14oC.

My preference today was for a shorter walk, although the climb to Loughrigg Fell is certainly not short on views. The skies were a bit dull with the odd glimpse of blue but it was quite still. It looks like my lens has had it too, that is why I couldn’t get a photo out of the camera on my last walk – if my memory serves me correctly I managed to drop it (again!) so today I was using a cheaper lens that I have as spare.
