Great Burney

Walked on 11/08/2007

Burney (OF) from the Woodland Fell Road

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 120 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Dull. 18oC.

There was no sunshine this morning and the higher fells were enveloped in a thick cloak of cloud so we decided to walk up to Great Burney, a compact Outlying Fell which is on the southern edge of the Lake District National Park. Connie was keen to try out her new boots today – I think they passed with flying colours!

The bad weather is moving in across the Duddon Estuary now - Black Combe is submerged under the cloud here and the rain was on us within a couple of minutes.
