Green Quarter Fell

Walked on 20/01/2010

Start point: Verge parking at Green Quarter, Kentmere (NY 461 040)

Green Quarter – Skeggles Water – Hollow Moor on Green Quarter Fell (OF) – a nameless summit 1370′ – Green Quarter

Distance: 4 miles     Total Ascent: 266 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: A raw, cold wind. 4°C

This morning was a big contrast with my walk to Orrest Head less than a week ago which was completed in heavy falling and deep snow – now the snow has almost completely disappeared at valley level, although of course it is still sticking stubbornly up on high. It was a bit of a grey day and it was as cold as it looks in some of the photos, especially in the strong wind.

The higher fells still have snow on them but these sheep seem quite happy that they can graze once more.
