Middle Fell

Walked on 21/08/2007

Start point: Greendale (NY 144 056)

Greendale – Middle Fell – Greendale Tarn – Greendale Gill – Greendale

Distance: 3 miles     Total Ascent: 560 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: Sunny. 19oC.

It was lovely and sunny again this morning with the clouds only hanging over the highest fells. It was nice and quiet in Wasdale when I arrived and it remained so throughout the walk. Greendale Tarn really is an idyllic place and well worth a visit on a day such as this.

A cloud covered Scafell and Slight Side from the Birker Fell road, one of the best road views in the Lakes.

Middle Fell from Wasdale.

Britain's favourite view? Wast Water is a candidate for that on the TV programme of the same name - possibly not this morning as the clouds are down on Great Gable and Lingmell. Does it get your vote?
