Holme Fell

Walked on 04/04/2007

Start point: Hodge Close (NY 315 016)

Holme Fell from Hodge Close

Distance: 1.8 miles     Total Ascent: 203 metres     Time Taken: 40 minutes

Weather: Sunny and warm. 15oC.

More lovely, sunny weather today and the recent haziness has diminished somewhat. The walk to Holme Fell from Hodge Close is short and easy yet it still offers great views on a day such as today. It was so warm, I struggled to get Angus out of the old reservoir on the way back – he was enjoying himself too much!
