Beacon Fell

Walked on 16/11/2006

Start point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Showery. 9oC.

Where to today then? It certainly looked grey and miserable again this morning and I didn’t fancy getting another soaking like yesterday, so lowly Beacon Fell it was. Always a delight to climb this one and we (mostly) kept out of the rain.
