18th May 2008

The route on the last day of a period in the North Western Fells of the Lake District. We based ourselves in Lorton in the campsite of The Wheatsheaf Inn, a convenient location to reach all 29 of these hills.

After de-camping we headed to the north to tick off the last two of our North-Western Fells. The fine weather has returned and it looked like a good and relatively easy day to finish.

Wythop Mill and the start of our route to Ling Fell.

 

The Wythop valley with Sale Fell, our next fell on the left.

From the nearby cairn the view to the North Western fells.

 

We headed down the back way via Tom Rudd Beck to find "one of the many speckled boulders."

 

 

From our return to Wythop Mill we travelled past St. Margaret's church to the start point of our final fell.

 

Great views north from the slopes of Sale Fell.
