Gowbarrow Fell

Walked on 22/09/2011

Start point: Aira Force car park (NY 397 205)

Aira Force car park – Aira Force – Hind Crag – Bernard Pike – Green Hill – Gowbarrow Fell – High Force – Aira Force car park

Distance: 2.8 miles     Total Ascent: 332 metres     Time Taken: 1 hours 10 minutes     Start Time: 09:00

Weather: Dull with the odd shower. 13ºC

Today’s walk was up to Gowbarrow Fell via Aira Force. This popular area was deserted when I left the car park but by the time I got back it was absolutely mobbed at the falls with plenty of coach parties taking the tour. Up on the tops of course there was no one – far from the madding crowd with relatively little effort.
