Brock Barrow

Walked on 11/07/2014

Start Point: High Nibthwaite (SD 294 897)

Brock Barrow (OF) from High Nibthwaite

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 175 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour     Start Time: 13:30

Weather: Boiling, 25°C

Today seemed as good a day as any to get out on the fells with young Fletcher – of course, with him being so young it had to be short and sweet but he seemed to take to it okay even in the hottest of summer conditions. It was absolutely gorgeous up there today, certainly the warmest weather I have been out in for a while.

Brock Barrow - lots of heat and lots of flies for us to contend with today.
