Seat How

Walked on 22/04/2011

Start point: Birker Fell road (SD 171 977)

Seat How (Birker Moor)  (OF) and Devoke Water from the Birker Fell road

Weather: Warm and hazy. 22C

This weeks warm and hazy weather continued today and a ‘stroll and swim’ was the desired objective for Connie (freshly enthused by swimming across Windermere from Fell Foot and back twice yesterday!). Once up onto Birker Fell though, conditions were a little different to those at valley level as there was a strong breeze which, although pleasant to walk in, coupled with icy water wasn’t conducive to swimming in!

...not really but it was warm enough for a paddle and a few stone skimming lessons for Connie, here looking to Water Crag beyond Watness Coy from in Devoke Water.

We soaked up the sunshine sitting here for a while.
