Harter Fell

Walked on 22/03/2006

Start point: Birks Bridge, Duddon Valley (SD 235 992)

Harter Fell from Birks Bridge

Distance: 3.25 miles     Total Ascent: 538 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours 15 minutes

Weather: Sunny and clear. 3oC.

Well, what a difference a few days make! The extreme weather of last Friday seems like a distant memory now as the sky was clear blue and the sunshine was warm today. The snow lingers on, still knee deep in places, but quite soft and slowly melting away. I wished I could have been out longer in these perfect conditions; the views were magnificent.
