Black Fell

Walked on 05/04/2005

Start point: Glen Mary Bridge, Yewdale  (NY 321 999)

Glen Mary Bridge – Tarn Hows – Black Crag on Black Fell – Tarn Hows – Glen Mary Bridge

Distance: 4 miles     Total Ascent: 300 metres     Time Taken: 3 hours

Weather: Cloudy with showers, 9oC.

It was a bit grim this morning, so we decided on an outing to the popular tourist destination of Tarn Hows. Connie was in good spirits so we extended it to take in Black Fell, a great achievement for a 4 year old. Back at the ranch, Angus continues his recuperation and looked longingly as we left..

Looking to Dunmail Raise. The snow has returned to the tops of Dollywagon Pike and Fairfield to the right of Dunmail Raise and it's an icy cold wind on the top of Black Fell.

All that walking deserved a special treat - chocolate cake and blackcurrant juice in the tea room at Yew Tree Farm - yum!
