Gowbarrow Fell

Walked on 04/04/2011

Start point: Aira Force car park (NY 397 205)

Aira Force car park – Aira Force – Hind Crag – Bernard Pike – Green Hill – Gowbarrow Fell – High Force – Aira Force car park

Distance: 2.8 miles     Total Ascent: 332 metres     Time Taken: 1 hours 10 minutes     Start Time: 09:00

Weather: Wind and rain. 8°C

The weatherman said the wind and rain would get worse throughout the morning, so I had to be quick to try and beat it today. I put in a lung busting effort to get to the top of Gowbarrow Fell just before the heavens really opened and managed to catch the best part of the day.

Fix the Fells...or ruin them?

'Cause I've been standing at the station In need of education in the rain...'

Dougal decided to do a 'route one' - straight down by the wall.

Oops, I think I frightened them off but he has got his eye on me!
