Description

From the Blencathra Centre, we walked up Blease Fell, over Gategill Fell Top and on to Hallsfell Top. After stopping for lunch we turned around and went back down.
Weather was very hot and still so we took regular drinks breaks.

Area : Northern Fells

The Northern Fells occupy a circular area about 10 miles in diameter. The centre is slightly lower, an area of upland grazing and marshland known as Skiddaw Forest. This name may be misleading since the only trees form the windbreak of Skiddaw House. This isolated building, was once a shepherd's bothy. It currently serves as a youth hostel. Skiddaw Forest stands at the head of the three major rivers of the Northern Fells. The Caldew, Dash Beck and the Glenderaterra. These streams divide the circular area into three distinct sections.
