Loughrigg Fell

Walked on 28/09/2011

Start point: Tarn Foot, Skelwith Bridge (NY 345 039)

Tarn Foot – Ivy Crag – Loughrigg Fell – The How – Loughrigg Tarn – Tarn Foot

Distance: 2.7 miles     Total Ascent: 270 metres     Time Taken: 1 hours 15 minutes     Start Time: 09:30

Weather: Warm and hazy. 20ºC

The predicted Indian Summer well and truly returned today with stifling heat and not a breath of wind – not bad for the end of September! The views were hazy though but I guess you can’t have everything although the sun did threaten to burn off all the clouds and perhaps it would have done if I had hung around for long enough.

Loughrigg Tarn was flat calm with great reflections...but with no view across it due to the cloud build up.

28.09.11-016

Still, it was very peaceful here this morning.

28.09.11-036

Not a ripple on the water.

28.09.11-041

Beautiful. I will return this way later to see if anything has changed.

On with the walk - looking across to the Coniston fells from the start of the climb to Loughrigg.

A sunny spell looking across to the summit.

The sunshine is trying to burn through the mist over on Windermere but Casper has designs on something more interesting over the other way.

28.09.11-073

Loughrigg Fell summit and no chance of the sun burning off the clouds yet.

28.09.11-096

Any old puddle will do when it is as warm as this, after all they are almost wearing their winter coats today.

28.09.11-097

The Langdales are lost in the murk across there somewhere.

28.09.11-112

Lingmoor Fell and Great Langdale.

28.09.11-120

The mist is just about burning off distant Wetherlam now.

28.09.11-122

Lingmoor Fell from the descent of Lad Crag.

28.09.11-136

Back down at Loughrigg Tarn.

28.09.11-148

Lovely reflections and a few autumn colours...

28.09.11-154

...but still no views!
