Holme Fell

Walked on 19/09/2011

Start point: Hodge Close (NY 315 016)

Holme Fell from Hodge Close

Distance: 1.7 miles     Total Ascent: 165 metres     Time Taken: 45 minutes     Start Time: 09:00

Weather: Overcast. 13ºC

I just had time for a quick walk this morning  up to Holme Fell from Hodge Close. The weather was predicted to worsen throughout the morning and this turned out to be correct. Luckily I missed a soaking and although it was dull, the views were still good from this diminutive fell.
