Beacon Fell

Walked on 07/09/2010

Start point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour     Start Time: 09:30

Weather: Clearing. 16C

I still have a bit of a holiday hangover and was feeling quite lethargic this morning but I had a quick walk up to Beacon Fell. The weather was pretty well overcast but seemed to be clearing and the temperature was pleasant enough. Those two bouncing beardies certainly enjoyed their walk up there today.
