The Dunnerdale Fells

Walked on 17/02/2008

Start point: Kiln Bank Cross (SD 215 933)

Kiln Bank Cross – Stickle Tarn – Tarn Hill (OF) – Stickle Pike (OF) – Kiln Bank Cross

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 195 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Sunny and hazy. 4°C.

There was further sunshine and haze today. We had a short walk around a couple of old favourites up above Broughton Mills – Stickle Pike and Tarn Hill. It felt really warm in the sunshine today, in fact I was in shirt sleeves which I guess is unusual for February – not that I am complaining!
