i) LINGMOOR FELL and ii) HOLME FELL -
30 August 2007
i) Blea Tarn - Lingmoor Fell - Blea Tarn
ii) Hodge Close Quarry - Ivy Crag - Holme Fell - Hodge Close Quarry
6 miles, 1400 feet of ascent
I decided to do these two ''fells'' which are very close together as two separate walks as I was pressed for time.
I headed up the path opposite Blea Tarn House
and as I climbed the view back down to Blea Tarn improved by the minute
The heather on top of Lingmoor was sensational
The view over to the Langdale Pikes was pretty good as well.
The second walk started from Hodge Close Quarry
and headed past the reservoirs beneath Holme Fell
The view to the Langdale Pikes was excellent
It is quite a rocky little summit
that also gives superb views of Wetherlam as well.
Two very pleasant walks in lovely weather conditions.
