The Dunnerdale Fells

Walked on 12/01/2015

Start Point: Kiln Bank Cross (SD 215 933)

Kiln Bank Cross – Stickle Tarn – Tarn Hill (OF) – Great Stickle (OF) – Kiln Bank Cross

Distance: 2.5 miles     Total Ascent: 235 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 15 minutes     Start Time: 15:00

Weather: A cold wind, 6°C

I had the chance of a swift walk with the dogs at the end of the afternoon so I had a wander around some of the Dunnerdale fells. It turned out to be a stunning sunset, something that didn’t look like it would happen until the very end so I am glad we braved the cold wind and went for it!

The Duddon Estuary from Great Stickle. It looks as though the trig column has only been undercoated, it used to be bright white!
