Greendale Round

Walked on 02/11/2006

Start point: Greendale (NY 144 056)

Greendale – Middle Fell – Seatallan – Greendale Gill – Greendale

Distance: 4.2 miles     Total Ascent: 732 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours 30 minutes

Weather: Clear and cold, hardly a breath of wind today. 8oC.

It was another cold and clear day today – if possible, it was better than yesterday as there was no wind to chill the bones. This was a lovely round with stunning views and the fells were ours alone for the entire walk.
