Today's walk: Woodland Fell (Wainwright's Outlying Fells p102)


Woodland Church - a better parking spot than the road triangle ..


.. just beyond the box where AW posted his 1972-3 tax return


AW's placid bull has been replaced by two lively horses


the bridleway and Yew Bank from the farm road


the pleasant walled lane at the start of the bridleway


Yew Bank from Strands Beck


the sands of Morecambe Bay and the Hoad Hill monument at Ulverston


the Coniston fells from the slopes of Yew Bank


Caw and Pikes from the slopes of Yew Bank


modern cairn on Yew Bank looking to Beacon Fell


ancient cairn on Yew Bank looking to Caw


looking back at the very rough trackless terrain between Yew Bank and Tarn Riggs


zooming in on the old fold - a good crossing point for Hodge Wife Gill


ancient cairn on Tarn Rigg looking to Beacon Tarn and Wool Knott


the great bog where Hodge Wife Gill begins


Dow Crag, Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam from Tarn Rigg


zooming in on Dow Crag and the Old Man

Beacon Tarn and Beacon Fell from the slopes of Wool Knott


the summit of Wool Knott from the east top with Black Combe behind


the summit of Wool Knott looking over Tarn Rigg to the Coniston fells


looking south to Morecambe Bay from Wool Knott


nice to be back on a good path on the descent from Wool Knott


the (not very obvious) site of the old bloomery looking to Bell Knott


the footbridge over Green Moor Beck with Black Combe in the distance
