Great Burney

Walked on 25/04/2006

Start point: Woodland Fell road (SD 259 852)

Burney (OF) from the Woodland Fell Road

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 150 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Sunny with a stiff breeze. 13oC.

Today was a day of two halves – raining and dreary this morning, clearing in the afternoon to give bright sunshine and blue skies. Great Burney lies on the south western edge of the Lake District National Park and is easily reached from the main A5092 road for an easy ascent with lovely views.

There was a cool, stiff breeze on the top - it looks as if Angus' lead has skewered Casper here!
