Brant Fell

Walked on 16/11/2009

Start point: Bowness on Windermere

Bowness on Windermere – Biskey Howe – Post Knott – Brant Fell (OF) – Bowness on Windermere

Distance: 1.8 miles     Total Ascent: 145 metres     Time Taken: 45 minutes

Weather: Absolutely chucking it down. 8oC

‘It would take a brave person to be on the fells today’ it said on the weather report on Radio Cumbria this morning and I had to agree, the rain was relentless and the wind strong at times. I opted for a smaller walk around Bowness taking in the viewpoints of Biskey Howe and Post Knott (neither of which are named on the map) and a short climb to Brant Fell. The photos today are the polar opposite of the last walk I did and I used the standby camera today as it was too wet to take the main one. It took a while to remember how it worked…

Ash Street, Bowness and our Love the Lakes shop - it's too early for anywhere to be open yet.
