Green Crag

Walked on 08/06/2007

Start point: Brown Rigg on the Birker Fell road. (SD 181 962)

Birker Fell Road (Brown Rigg) – Little Crag – Great Crag on Birker Fell – Black Crag – Broad Crag –  Green Crag – White How on Birker Fell – Far Hill – Great Worm Crag (OF) – Rough Crag – Birker Fell Road (Brown Rigg)

Distance: 4.8 miles     Total Ascent: 355 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Overcast and grey. 20oC.

It was really overcast and grey this morning but quite warm and muggy. We had a shorter walk than yesterday across Birker Moor visiting some of the many rocky outcrops on this rough area between the Duddon Valley and Eskdale. On a better day, the views are extensive from here; today they were virtually non-existent.

I could just about see Devoke Water from here with the line of the road to Eskdale curving in front of it.

The sun is starting to break through on Green Crag now as I reach Far Hill on the way to Great Worm Crag. Typical!
