Middle Fell

Walked on 09/08/2010

Start point: Greendale (NY 144 056)

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

Distance: 2.8 miles     Total Ascent: 525 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 20 minutes     Start Time: 06:45

Weather: Wet. 15C

It was predicted to be wet today but at least it was still dry when I set of on an early walk up to Middle Fell this morning. It was very dull and overcast though and the rain came just as I dropped down to Greendale Tarn and that made the return leg a damp and squelchy affair to say the least.

Greendale Tarn from the direct descent to it - I could hardly make it out through the mist until I was right upon it.
