Loughrigg Fell

Walked on 24/05/2011

Start point: Rydal (NY 365 062)

Rydal – Loughrigg Cave – Loughrigg Fell – Rydal

Distance: 3 miles     Total Ascent: 280 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour 20 minutes     Start Time: 10:10

Weather: A real mixed bag – rain, hail and wind. 12ºC

When it was chucking it down with rain this morning, I set off along the shore of Rydal Water expecting just to have a low level wander. Things started to brighten after a little while though so – what the heck – I went for a straight up and down visit to the summit and encountered lots of different weather fronts on the way!
