I had a trip to the north of the Lakes for a walk around some of the Uldale Fells this morning. There were some sunny spells but it was generally dull with low lying mist on the tops. The going was very wet too after recent heavy rain so it turned into a bit of a squelch around the fells. After the Uldale Fells I had a short drive over to Binsey as part of a ‘Wainwright 3rd time round’ mopping up exercise.

Descending to Charlton Wath and it is all looking a bit murky up on Brae Fell to the right.
Casper tests out the bathing properties of Charlton Wath - but he is definitely on his own in there today!
I walked alongside Charlton Gill for a short way rather than directly ascend the fell side.
The area has been planted with indigenous trees and it has also been fenced off. Free access is allowed though and the fence will be removed in 15 years time according to the sign.

There were no views at all on the walk to Great Sca Fell and Casper sticks his tongue out to that.
