High Tove

Walked on 08/03/2006

Start point: Armboth (NY 306 172)

Armboth – High Tove – Middle Crag (465) – Shivery Knott (466) – Watendlath Fell (467) – Armboth Fell – Fisher Crag (468) – Armboth

Distance: 6 miles     Total Ascent: 704 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours 50 minutes

Weather: Rain. 8oC

The snow has virtually disappeared and the blue skies of last week have gone again. The warm front brought with it rain and general dreariness – not wonderful conditions for a walk, but at least we got some fresh air for our walk up to the central band of fells along the High Tove – Ullscarf ridge. These fells are renowned for their wetness and general bogginess at the best of times, so you can imagine what conditions were like today!
