Woodland Fell

Walked on 16/06/2006

Start point: Woodland (SD 248 895)

Woodland – Yew Bank (OF) – Beacon Tarn – Wool Knott (OF) – Green Moor Farm – Woodland

Distance: 5.3 miles     Total Ascent: 464 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours 30 minutes

Weather: Overcast but warm with rain showers. 19oC.

After being ill this week, I was just about stir crazy today – as indeed were Angus and Casper! This was a gentle walk which allowed us to get some fresh air without unnecessary exertion. The views today were virtually non-existent, firstly the haze smothered everything and later the rain came to finalise it. I really like it round here though, and it’s certainly quiet and tranquil – only a distant group of people across Beacon Tarn broke the solitude today.

Not a good day for views today, the Coniston fells are just a silhouette and the rain is coming.

A large transporter plane heading towards Caw and Pikes. See how Casper gets through the heather in this movie...like a porpoise of course!

The rain won't bother Angus though, he's getting very wet (spot him?).

Casper prefers to watch.
