Harter Fell

Walked on 15/11/2005

Start point: Birks Bridge, Duddon Valley (SD 235 992)

Harter Fell from Birks Bridge

Distance: 3.25 miles     Total Ascent: 538 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: Cool, mainly clear. 9oC.

Today turned clear with blue skies again – I had a short walk up to Harter Fell from the Duddon Valley, starting from Birks Bridge. The view turned out to be good, much better than I expected earlier. The ascent was made more interesting when I bumped in to Chris Jesty, the man responsible for updating the Wainwright Pictorial Guides, who stopped for a chat.
