Beacon Fell

Walked on 03/08/2015

Start Point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 15 minutes     Start Time: 13:30

Weather: Warm but overcast. 17°C

I went with Connie and the dogs to check out our old favourite Beacon Fell – the treasure tin is still there in the cairn which was good to see. I was surprised there was no one else around up there today, the lower fells always appeal more during the school holidays. As ever, the sun came out as we reached the car at the end…
