Lingmoor Fell

Walked on 23/03/2014

Start Point: Blea Tarn Car Park (NY 296 043)

Blea Tarn – Bleatarn House – Lingmoor Fell – Lingmoor Tarn – Side Pike – Blea Tarn

Distance: 3.2 miles     Total ascent: 390 metres     Time taken: 2 hours     Start Time: 08:00

Weather: Cold wind, clear spells, 6°C

It was nice to be out early on such a morning for a walk up to Lingmoor Fell, the views were lovely and the wind was a cold one. Although I haven’t been on the fells as much as I would like for almost a year, things are about to change in April when stridingedge.net returns to the fells properly with a bit of luck. Thanks to all for bearing with me so far, needs must and all that…

Dougal has already found the way through The Squeeze - it looks almost impossible from here but you can see the path leading to it on the bottom right
