Harter Fell

Walked on 07/06/2016

Start point: Birks Bridge, Duddon Valley (SD 235 992)

Harter Fell from Birks Bridge

Distance: 3.9 miles     Total Ascent: 477 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours 15 minutes     Start Time: 09:30

Weather: Warm and hazy. 24C

The warm weather has continued for a couple of weeks in Cumbria and the Lakes and this was a fantastic opportunity to get out for a walk to local Harter fell and then have a dip in the River Duddon at the end of the walk – the perfect icing on the cake!

Beautiful Birks Bridge at the start of the walk - perhaps I will pay a visit at then to those inviting cool, clear waters.
