Beacon Fell

Walked on 17/07/2006

Start point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours 30 minutes

Weather: Scorching! 27oC.

It was always going to be a hot one today, so Connie and I along with her school friend Maya, dad Nick and dog Buster had a relatively early start up to the delightful Beacon Fell. It was so this morning warm that the delights of the cool looking Beacon Tarn were too hard for all of us to resist!
