Beda Fell, Angletarn Pikes and Brock Crags

Date:                 16th April  2007                Distance:    11.00 miles                Ascent:    2391 feet                Time:    6h 30m

Weather:           A fine day with cloud at 1800' initially but rising above the tops later

Route:               We left the car at Cow Bridge and after walking back to Hartsop took the path to Boredale Hause

We left the car at Cow Bridge near Brotherswater and for a change we weren't the first there.

The slanting path up to Boredale Hause. The cloud was down on the tops at the start but soon cleared

After walking back to Hartsop we took the bridleway to Patterdale before turning off up to Boredale Hause

Looking back towards Brotherswater from the path to Boredale Hause

Getting higher and nearer to the Hause

From just past the Hause on the path round to Beda Fell this shows the path going up Place Fell

Walking round the top of Boredale now with the Beda Fell ridge to the right and Hallin Fell in the distance

On the Beda Fell ridge looking down to the summit

Hallin Fell and Ullswater from Beda Fell

Gowbarrow Fell and the Mell Fells from Beda Fell. From Beda Fell we retraced our steps a while before cutting round Heckbeck Head to the Angletarn Pikes

Walking back along the Beda Fell ridge looking at The Nab

The head of Bannerdale

Edith on the North summit of Angletarn Pikes. This is the highest point although the South summit offers the best views

Dave on the north summit

looking to Brotherswater with Middle Dodd, High Hartsop Dodd and Dove Crag on the skyline

Looking back across Boredale Hause to Place Fell now out of the clouds

Looking to the south summit from the north. It's only a few minutes easy walking away

On the south summit now looking to the north

Angle Tarn......absolutely delicous

Edith on the south summit. We had our "butty stop" here before following the C2C path past the tarn for a while before diverting to Brock Crags

On the path to Brock Crags....The south summit of Angletarn PIkes is on the far side of the tarn

Hayeswater with Gray Crag to the right and the Hight Street ridge to the left

Looking into Threshthwaite Cove with Gray Crag to the left, Thornthwaite Crag behind and CaudaleMoor on the right. From Brock Crags we went back to the C2C path and followed it down to Boredale Hause apart from a short section where we diverted over the top of Dubhow Beck

The short diversion over Dubhow Beck with Place Fell behind. I love these narrow paths that contour around the fellside

Back on the main path now and approaching Boredale Hause

Boredale Hause....It could be confusing, to the far left a path to Place Fell, then one to Boredale, then the one we took earlier round to Beda Fell and then to the right the one to Angletarn. If that's not confusing enough there's quite a few subsidiary minor paths

Back on the path we came up earlier in the day now on our way back to Hartsop

Approaching Hartsop with Hartsop Dodd ahead

Looking towards Hartsop with Gray Crag behind

And finally back to the car
