Boredale Circuit

Walked on 24/04/2006

Start point: Sandwick (NY 423 196)

Sandwick – Beda Fell (475) – Heck Crag – Angletarn Pikes – Boredale Hause – Place Fell – High Dodd –Sleet Fell – Sandwick

Distance: 9.4 miles     Total Ascent: 1300 metres     Time Taken: 4 hours 20 minutes

Weather: Sunny at first, gradually worsening. 13oC.

It was lovely and sunny this morning when I set off from Sandwick for a circuit of Boredale – so much so that the legs were soon zipped off from my trousers to make the first walk in shorts this year (was it really only a month ago I was on Harter Fell in the snow?). This was Casper’s first ‘big’ walk and he seemed to cope okay, with a few tips thrown in from the master, Angus.
