Claife Heights

Walked on 30/01/2007

Start point: Far Sawrey (SD 379 954)

Far Sawrey – Moss Eccles Tarn – Wise Een Tarn – Claife Heights (High Blind How) (OF) – Pate Crags – Far Sawrey

Distance: 4.8 miles     Total Ascent: 245 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Overcast. 6°C

It was once again dull and very grey today so I opted for a low level walk exploring the western side of Windermere. Starting from Far Sawrey, this is really a walk in Beatrix Potter country. Given the publicity surrounding the new Miss Potter film, they are expecting bumper crowds here this summer so it was nice to have a quiet wander around the area before everyone arrives!
