Lingmoor Fell

Walked on 19/08/2010

Start point: Blea Tarn Car Park (NY 296 043)

Blea Tarn – Bleatarn House – Lingmoor Fell – Lingmoor Tarn – Side Pike – Blea Tarn

Distance: 3.2 miles     Total Ascent: 390 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours     Start Time: 09:50

Weather: A mixed bag. 13C

I’ve been very busy of late and it’s been a little while since I was out on the fells but I managed to make it up onto Lingmoor Fell today. The weather was mixed and it felt a little fresh up there but it was good to be out in the fresh air with only my thoughts for company (plus Dougal and Casper of course!).

Mickleden - Rossett Pike is visible at its head but Bowfell's top still has its head in the clouds.
