Middle Fell

Walked on 18/07/2006

Start point: Greendale (NY 144 056)

Greendale – Middle Fell – Greendale Tarn – Greendale Gill – Greendale

Distance: 3 miles     Total Ascent: 560 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Scorching – again! 28oC.

It seems to be getting hotter by the day at the moment and it was in the high twenties when I set off this morning. Too hot for Angus I think – today he was left at home to sit in the shade. The relentless slog to Middle Fell was quite tough with the sight of Greendale Tarn being a relief for both Casper and I – neither of us could resist getting in there!

Do things get any better than this? A cool, lonely mountain tarn to swim in on a baking hot day...

...heaven on earth. In a strange human/dog twist, Casper sat on the banks of Greendale Tarn whilst I had a swim. Now, if only I could teach him how to use a camera!
