Humphrey Head

Walked on 10/03/2011

Start point: Humphrey Head (SD 390 740)

Humphrey Head (OF)

I was down in Grange-Over-Sands on business this afternoon and decided to go for Humphrey Head when I saw the only glimmer of sunlight over it and out over Morecambe Bay. It is over 6 years since I have been up here – how time flies (gulp!).
Wainwright – “A fell it certainly is not, being a meagre 172 feet above the sea…Fellwalkers need an occasional change of scene. Here is one, on Humphrey Head”.

The wind has cleared away the cloud nicely, looking towards Rougholme Point.

Up on to the top of Humphrey Head and to the north the skies are leaden. Later, on the way home, they parted and revealed a fresh dusting of snow up on Coniston Old Man.
