Yewbarrow

Walked on 20/01/2005

Start point: Overbeck Bridge (NY 168 068)

Overbeck Bridge – Bell Rib – Great Door – Yewbarrow (South Top) (259) – Yewbarrow (North Top) (260) – Dore Head – Overbeck – Overbeck Bridge

Weather: Wind, rain and snow.

Today’s walk is a walk over shapely Yewbarrow, a fell that often missed when walking from Wasdale as it doesn’t fit neatly with other rounds. Whilst the weather wasn’t great today it was still worth the walk up – the moment when Great Door appeared after a hard scramble was certainly the highlight.
