Lingmoor Fell

Walked on 26/11/2008

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

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

Distance: 2.5 miles     Total Ascent: 300 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Constant drizzle. 8oC.

It was wet and drizzly for a walk up to Lingmoor Fell this morning and the clouds were down in the valleys below. This is a surprisingly quick way to the top with the ascent being directly to the summit cairn. I decided to miss the normally easy to get to Side Pike as the weather was worsening. Instead I took a short cut and descended back to the road at the depression between Lingmoor Fell and Side Pike.

Looking north there is the occasional fleeting glimpse of the Langdales through the increasingly heavy drizzle.

Casper has a dip in there, as if he is not wet enough already!
