Great Intake

Walked on 11/01/2007

Start point: Little Langdale (NY 316 034)

Little Langdale – Slaters Bridge – Great Intake on Low Fell – Slaters Bridge – Little Langdale

Distance: 3.3 miles     Total Ascent: 250 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: Wild and windy with showers. 9°C

I had envisaged going for a longer walk today but the conditions were a bit off putting for walking the high fells to say the least – the wind was howling and the driving rain put paid to thoughts of any longer walks. Instead, I had a shorter walk around Tilberthwaite, heading up to Great Intake which is a relatively small fell yet one which commands fine views.
