Silver How

Walked on 13/11/2014

Start Point: Grasmere Church (NY 336 073)

Grasmere – Allan Bank – Silver How – Kelbarrow – Grasmere

Distance: 2.75 miles     Total Ascent: 325 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 15 minutes     Start Time: 10:00

Weather: Overcast, windy, 12°C

Time for another short walk with Fletcher in tow today, he seems to enjoy the outdoor life and it is interesting to watch him grow when everything is new – crossing a stream, climbing a stile etc are all part of the fell walking experience and something you take for granted but having a new new boy along for the walk reminds you that there are always new hurdle to overcome. It was pretty windy up on the top today too, Fletcher overcame that new experience by barking at it!

Heading for Silver How and there is a solitary figure on the top. When we got there he recognised us ( actually when I say 'us' I mean 'them'!)
