Great Burney

Walked on 30/03/2010

Start point: Woodland Fell road (SD 258 852)

Burney (OF) from the Woodland Fell Road

Distance: 1.2 miles     Total Ascent: 122 metres     Time Taken: 30 minutes     Start Time: 10:20

Weather: Cats and dogs, 9C

It was absolutely chucking it down today but those dogs still need to be walked whatever the weather, so it was a local short walk up to Wainwright Outlying fell Great Burney. They don’t seem to mind the rain so much and neither do I really but it makes for an interesting ‘quick on the draw’ style of photography! Today, I was mostly wearing Paramo…

At the start of the track on Kirkby Moor and look at those stair rods!

That looks like a hurry up call from Casper as we head towards Combs.

This may look like just a pile of embedded old stones but is the site of an ancient stone circle.

It feels like you are on ancient tracks around here and the area is well known for its bronze age artefacts. This ancient cairn lies on the track to the Crake Valley and Coniston Water is lost in the mist beyond.

Casper and Dougal at the top of Great Burney.

Damp and muddy Casper.

Not much to see from lowly Burney today.

I'm not sure what that look from Casper means - 'it's a bit wet Dad?'
