Black Fell

Walked on 24/04/2009

Start point: Knipe Fold (SD 391 994)

Black Fell from Knipe Fold

Distance: 3.4 miles     Total Ascent: 215 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 15 minutes

Weather: Mild but dull. 15°C.

It was really quite mild, still and warm this morning though the sky was for the most part leaden with the sun occasionally trying to shine through. The views were through general haziness and Casper has found a return to puppydom with his latest sleek hairstyle.
