Beacon Fell

Walked on 23/04/2012

Start point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour     Start Time: 13:30

Weather: Overcast but clear. 12oC

It was really quite still this afternoon for a short walk up to Beacon Fell, in fact it was mild as well so it was good to do the full walk in short sleeves. I had a hunt round for the ‘treasure tin’ up there today but it looks like some kind soul has removed it again. Why oh why oh why…?
