Wansfell

Walked on 20/09/2010

Start point: Troutbeck (NY 409 032)

Troutbeck – Nanny Lane – The Hundreds – Wansfell – Wansfell Pike – Nanny Lane – Troutbeck

Distance: 3.7 miles     Total Ascent: 350 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 20 minutes     Start Time: 09:15

Weather: Showers. 14C

Once more everywhere looked pretty grim this morning but sheltered Wansfell looked a fair bet for a dry – if soggy underfoot – walk. Of course we were caught in the odd shower or two and there was no one around anywhere whilst we were up there. Great walk though, I like it up there.

Casper didn't think he was quite wet enough after the walk so he had a lie down in this beck running through Troutbeck.
