Last weeks saw some pretty clear days on the Lakeland fells but this is January which means such days usually come to an end right about when the weekend starts and this weekends forecast was looking grim with rain predicted to fall well into the afternoon although it was forecasted this would push east around midday, however confidence still remained low.
Because I'm lucky enough to be able to choose where I walk I thought why not stay below the cloud and picked two walks from my Outlying Fells project. The two Outliers that I choose were Dunmallard Hill and Heughscar Hill, both within close proximity of one another.
First lets start with Dunmallard Hill, I must have drove past this ancient hill fort a thousand times and like David, who joins me today have never actually stopped and took the trouble to walk to its tree topped summit, this morning we are going to do just that starting from Pooley Bridge. |
