Hugill Fell and Reston Scar

Walked on 28/07/2011

Start point: Barley Bridge, Staveley (SD 470 987)

Hugill Fell (OF) and Reston Scar (OF) from Staveley 

Distance: 2.2 miles     Total Ascent: 192 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour     Start Time: 09:30

Weather: Dull but warm. 20ºC

Today I chased the weather really and headed east as a great sheet of grey cloud was working its way from the west over the Lake District. At least I managed to set off in the sunshine but that was soon obliterated as general dullness set in. It was warm work today though and the views from these fells are a little too distant at the best of times, so that wasn’t helped by the conditions.

The cairn that formerly stood at the Wainwright top has now disappeared - Casper and Dougal hunt in vain for it.

The Kentmere Valley. The good news is that you can now walk across to Reston Scar whereas before access was forbidden. On the way we found the remains of the cairn on the path - it is now a line of stones crossing the boggy ground.

Crinkle Crags and Bowfell catch some rain, the Langdale Pikes to the right from the highest central point.

The length of Casper and Dougal's tongues tell how warm it is up here today.
