2nd February 2008 - Place Fell

Walk Details

Distance walked: 4.3 miles

Total ascent: 1737 ft

OS map used: OL5 - The English Lakes, North-eastern area

Time taken: 4.5 hrs

Route description: Patterdale-Side Farm-Boredale Hause-Place Fell-Boredale Hause-Side Farm-Patterdale

I fancied doing a snowy walk in the Lake District but it had to be somewhere accessible from a main road and that had a relatively easy ascent. Place Fell fitted the bill.

The same route there and back via Boredale Hause.

I've made it to Boredale Hause and I've started the ascent of Place Fell. Looking across to St. Sunday Crag and Birkhouse Moor.

I've stopped at the little top of Round How on route to the summit to take a few pictures. Red Screes is directly ahead behind Brothers Water with Caudale Moor to the left.

On the summit of Place Fell. The weather was pretty grim up here. Strong winds, cold obviously and the snow was blowing about. I took a few photos and decided to wait it out to see if it would improve. The view here is looking across to Sheffield Pike and the Dodds.
