Blawith Knott

Walked on 15/07/2009

Start point: Woodland Fell road (SD 256 879)

Woodland Fell Road – Blawith Knott (OF) – Lang Tarn – Tottlebank Height (OF) – Woodland Fell Road

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 156 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Frequent showers. 21C.

Today we had a short walk up to Blawith Knott which lies above the Woodland valley and we were joined by our friends Roger and Ann Hiley along with their dogs Harry and Bethan. The weather was none too promising when we set off as the rain was quite heavy, but thankfully it cleared and the walk was completed in a mixture of bright sunshine and frequent showers.

It was a bit of a damp start to the walk on the path to Blawith Knott but we were hopeful of brighter weather to come.

By the time we reached the first summit cairn things had started to clear a little.

Lang Tarn (towards the bottom of the photo) which along with Foxes Tarn is reputed to be the smallest named tarn in the Lake District.

Just big enough to fit three dogs in, so that's alright then!

Another of the frequent showers and it is hoods up for Connie and Ann heading across to Angus Tarn.
