Harter Fell

Walked on 22/05/2009

Start point: Birks Bridge, Duddon Valley (SD 235 992)

Harter Fell from Birks Bridge

Distance: 3.25 miles     Total Ascent: 538 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 45 minutes

Weather: Overcast. 13C.

Harter Fell from the Duddon Valley is a great walk and a relatively easy ascent (if you like them straight up that is!). The views weren’t really there today as the tops were clouded in but it was nice to be back in the Duddon Valley, our families favourite.
