Loughrigg Fell

Walked on 03/08/2006

Start point: Rydal (NY 365 062)

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

Distance: 4.2 miles     Total Ascent: 420 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Warm and sunny, very clear. 23oC.

What a difference a day (or two) makes! I was at Rydal on Monday when it was absolutely miserable and raining very heavily. Today it was a return to summer with a cloudless sky and brilliantly clear views. Perfect!
