Lingmoor Fell

Walked on 02/11/2009

Start point: Blea Tarn Car Park (NY 296 043)

Blea Tarn – Bleatarn House – Lingmoor Fell – Lingmoor Tarn – Blea Tarn

Distance: 3 miles     Total Ascent: 330 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 40 minutes

Weather: Wet and windy. 8oC.

It was certainly wet and windy when I set off for Lingmoor Fell this morning; I had thought of going higher but gave that a miss when the weather was so bad. It did eventually clear up a little and the wind died down but the temperature had noticeably dropped since last week. I always enjoy this fell and this direct route from Bleatarn House certainly seems to be the quickest way of getting up there.

There has been lots of rain around this weekend and today was no exception; there are plenty of flooded roads around and I set off for Lingmoor Fell in waterproofs today following this beck directly from Bleatarn House.

What's up little Dougal? He issued a refusal at this footbridge and was off in the opposite direction, so a little gentle coaxing was required to get him to cross.
