Blawith Knott & Tottlebank Height

Woodland Fell Road – Blawith Knott (OF) – Angus Tarn – Tottlebank Height (OF) – Woodland Fell Road

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 156 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 15 minutes     Start Time:14:25

Weather: Warm with the odd sunny spell. 20oC

It was another warm and muggy morning and there was a bit of rain around but it eventually cleared and was quite sunny for a period. We took this opportunity to head for Blawith Knott but the sun didn’t last the distance with the cloud catching us in the end.
