31st October 2008 - Lingmoor Fell

Walk Details

Distance walked: 4.8 miles

Total ascent: 1557 ft

OS map used: OL6 - The English Lakes, South-western area

Time taken: 5 hrs

Route description: Stickle Barn car park, Great Langdale-path through NT camp site-Side Pike-Brown How-Blea Tarn-path through NT camp site-Stickle Barn car park, Great Langdale

An early taste of winter with a dusting of snow on the high fells and strong winds meant a low level walk was the choice for todays walk and the bagging of Lingmoor Fell.

From the NT car park at Stickle Barn I walked up the road towards the Old Dungeon Ghyll and then Wall End Farm. I left the road and took the footpath through the NT camp site. Once through the camp site the path continues uphill to the Blea Tarn road. My route then went onto Side Pike and along the ridge to the high point of Lingmoor Fell, Brown How. The route back was down to Blea Tarn and then a retracing of the route up.

I've left Side Pike to make my way to the summit of Lingmoor Fell. A look back at the view including Side Pike on the right. This was the last picture I took for a while until I was making my way down to Blea Tarn. The weather on the top of Lingmoor Fell wasn't the best.
