Blawith Knott

Walked on 09/04/2008

Start point: Woodland Fell road (SD 256 879)

Woodland Fell Road – Blawith Knott (OF) – Tottlebank Height (OF) – Woodland Fell Road

Weather: Long sunny spells. 8oC.

The southern Lakes had it good today looking at the weather further north. Furness and the surrounding fells basked in sunshine whilst the higher fells still looked decidedly wintry and we had a pleasant and enjoyable stroll across this largely unknown and often ignored area.

Not its real name of course but seeing as it doesn't have one of it own...!

Heading for Tottlebank Height.

Wool Knott and Beacon Fell from Tottlebank Height. There is a glimpse of Coniston Water from here with the familiar whaleback of Red Screes beyond. Those showers over the central fells look like snow to me.
