Start point: Birker Fell road (SD 171 977)
Seat How (Birker Moor) (OF) from the Birker Fell road
Weather: Sunny and warm. 20C.
I thought I would keep away from the traffic and crowds today with a walk across Birker Fell up to Yoadcastle. The weather was beautiful – really warm with a slight breeze. I’ll blame it on the weather that I didn’t quite reach my intended destination…
The track to Devoke Water, Seat How is the limp in the centre.
The view towards the Scafells from Tewit Moss, a really boggy area and not a recommended route.
Seat How and Water Crag complete with frolicking Casper!
What a beautiful day up on the top today.
Having a look over Devoke Water.
A panoramic view of Devoke Water. It was so warm and peaceful here today, I had a lie down for a little while enjoying the sunshine...
...and the view when I eventually woke up! All motivation to carry on had gone now so I opted for a quick return.
Hesk Fell, Stickle Pike in the distance.
A panoramic view from The Seat.
Harter Fell, the scene of my last walk.
