Middle Fell

Walked on 01/05/2015

Start Point: Greendale (NY 144 056)

Greendale – Middle Fell – Greendale Tarn – Greendale Gill – Greendale

Distance: 2.8 miles     Total ascent: 525 metres     Time taken: 1 hour 30 minutes     Start time: 07:15

Weather: Lovely. 5°C

What a fabulous morning it was with really clear air and that ‘good to be alive’ feeling. We had time for a quick walk up to well trodden (by us) Middle Fell, the views from there of the Scafells and the head of Wasdale are simply fantastic.

Looking back down - the sky suddenly clouded over for a while from here.

A well earned drink on the climb. This pool always reminds me of Casper, a favourite watering hole of his.

Not quite warm enough for a swim today - the sunshine is deceptive as it was a cool wind.
