Loughrigg Fell

Walked on 28/01/2011

Start point: Tarn Foot, Skelwith Bridge (NY 345 039)

Tarn Foot – Ivy Crag – Loughrigg Fell – The How – Loughrigg Tarn – Tarn Foot

Distance: 2.7 miles     Total Ascent: 270 metres     Time Taken: 1 hours 15 minutes     Start Time: 09:30

Weather: Sunny spells. 2°C

Today there was a mixed bag of weather and it was ever brightening on Loughrigg Fell but on the high fells there was a dusting of fresh snow and seemingly snow laden clouds on them. There is still a good bit of winter to go and I don’t think it will be so long before there are snowy walks once more.

It was dull when I set off but there were some good sunny spells once I started the climb up to Loughrigg, here looking towards the Coniston fells.

Up on the summit ridge it is nice and sunny but beyond in Great Langdale there are ominous clouds.
