Hugill Fell

Walked on 14/09/2007

Start point: Barley Bridge, Staveley (SD 470 987)

Hugill Fell (OF) from Staveley

Distance: 1.6 miles     Total Ascent: 160 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Dull. 17oC.

We were over Kendal way today and decided on a short walk up to Hugill Fell above Staveley. The weather wasn’t the best, it being quite dull but this is a pleasant enough walk. The treat for later was lunch at Wilf’s in Staveley followed by watching the Tour of Britain cycle race at Blease Hill outside Kendal en-route to the stage finish in Kendal town centre.
