Deepdale Round

Walked on 10/11/2014

Start Point: Deepdale Bridge (NY 399 144)

Deepdale Bridge – Deepdale – Greenhow End – Fairfield – Cofa Pike – Saint Sunday Crag – Gavel Pike – Lord’s Seat – Deepdale Bridge

Distance: 7.3 miles     Total Ascent: 915 metres     Time Taken: 4 hours 30 minutes     Start Time: 09:15

Weather: Overcast with showers, 8°C

The promised clear weather never materialised today, in fact it was the opposite as the clouds and clag closed in as the day went on. I was looking forward to this one as a new route for me, I must go back and do it on a fine day as I think the views would be brilliant from Greenhow End. This route will feature in a future edition of Trail Magazine.

Aw...just look at that little face! Fletcher, now with full fell dog haircut!

Fletcher, full of smiles! On Sunday 9th November I took the dogs out but it was hammering it down in the south Lakes.

Dull at Brown Howe, Coniston Water.

We ended up back at Burney for a quick fell walk. We were completely sodden! On with today's walk...

Place Fell from Deepdale Bridge. There was a glimmer of light and it was looking (dare I say it?) promising.

Mart Crag reflected in a small tarn. Above Mart Crag (in the mist) is Greenhow End, today's route of ascent

A bit damp and a bit steep climbing up Greenhow End, looking back into Deepdale. There wasn't much to take photos of for a good while after this. Dougal was recognised on Fairfield by a couple of StridingEdge fans, I helped a chap get the right path from Fairfield to Cofa Pike and Dougal was again recognised on the climb to St. Sunday!

Nothing to see on St. Sunday (apart from big Doogs!)

Heading down to Lord's Seat and a break in the clouds

On Lord's Seat, Birks in the distance

Looking back up to Lord's Seat and Gavel Pike. It was a bit of a boggy mess descending from here and we were sodden for the second day running! On the way back from our shop in Bowness...

Sunshine across Windermere!
