A Fell Run from Hartsop

September 28th 2011

I had been summoned by Andy Walmsley the Clayton Le Moors Harriers Z team captain to run a leg of the Ian Hodgson Fell Relay in the Lakes. My leg is from Hartsop to Patterdale and though I have done it before I thought a reccy of the route might be an idea.

A Lovely Day in Longsleddale

A Relatively Moderate Walk with Magnificent Views.

A Long Walk around Haweswater

March 16th 2011

It was an awful weather forecast for the Lake District but our usual optimism took us up the M6 to Junction 36 and Dave and Pete's bacon butty van in the first lay by on the A590 Kendal Road.

A Windy Walk over Place Fell

March 15th 2011

There was little apprehension of the weather being bad in the Lake District as we drove up the M6, it was more a factual resignation that we would get wet sometime during the day. We hoped that the rain and snow promised would be late in the afternoon and we would just miss it.

A Late Walk around Crummock Water

February 16th 2011

It was throwing it down in Blackburn but the weather forecast for the lakes said the afternoon would be brighter. Faced with the prospect of a definite wet run around Darwen Moors or a possible better afternoon in Buttermere we set off up the M6.
