Middle Fell

Walked on 17/02/2006

Start point: Greendale (NY 144 056)

Greendale – Greendale Gill – Greendale Tarn – Middle Fell – Greendale

Distance: 3 miles     Total Ascent: 560 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: Generally overcast but getting brighter through the afternoon. 8°C

I had another short walk in Wasdale this afternoon, the weather brightening up nicely by the end and the clouds lifting from the higher tops by the time I returned to Greendale. It was surprisingly warm on this walk although the higher fells still sport snow capped peaks.

The clouds started to lift by the end of the walk and the sun shone on occasions - who could resist this classic shot along Wast Water?
