Seathwaite Tarn

Walked on 28/03/2006

Start point: At the bottom of the Walna Scar road (SD 239 968)

Seathwaite Tarn

Distance: 3 miles     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Rain. 8oC.

The fells didn’t look very inviting this morning; everything above valley level was obscured by the low lying mist and constant drizzle and rain. I opted for a shorter walk up to Seathwaite Tarn from the bottom of the Walna Scar road, although there still were no views at this mid level. Seathwaite Tarn is more often looked down upon from the higher Coniston fells, the best view of it being from Great How Crags.

Following the track up to Seathwaite Tarn looking at the inappropriately named (today, anyway!) Sunny Pike.

A damp Angus doesn't realise the troops are gathering behind!

Not too sure about walking along here!

Tarn Beck, the outfall of Seathwaite Tarn.

A damp looking Duddon Valley on the way down. The top of Stickle Pike is in the centre distance and some stubborn patches of snow are sticking to the side of Caw to the left.

Looking over the Duddon Valley to Wallowbarrow with Wallowbarrow Crag visible but the fells beyond obliterated by cloud. View a movie of Angus at Seathwaite Tarn
