Middle Fell

Walked on 01/02/2008

 Greendale (NY 144 056)

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

Distance: 3.5 miles     Total Ascent: 525 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour 45 minutes

Weather: Cold and strong wind. 4°C.

The weather has been wild in Cumbria over the last couple of days and today was no exception with a very strong wind on the top of Middle Fell today and behind it there is more snow to come. Today was the first time out with the new camera, so there was plenty of messing about with it, although I stuck to the old lens for now until I upgrade that as well.
