Latterbarrow

Walked on 10/04/2006

Start point: Colthouse (SD 360 988)

Latterbarrow (OF) from Colthouse

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 143 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Sunny. 7oC.

It was lovely and sunny again this morning after a mixed weekend which once again saw snow fall on the high fells. Latterbarrow, above Hawkshead, gives great panoramic views in such clear conditions and makes an ideal walk for children.
