2nd August 2007

We decided to have an easier day today - it is a holiday after all! So we chose to follow a route suggested by Trail magazine.

It was a lovely warm day as we took the same route up the side of Place Fell and onto Boredale Hause. This time, however, we took a left and headed up onto Place Fell (2154 ft) whose summit is much further back then you would imagine! However, we perservered and soon reached the very impressive top.

We then carried on over the fell and down the other side. There was then a long walk through some beautiful countryside to the edge of Ullswater around Hallin Fell. The route took us along the Lake's edge where we, to our great surprise, had to overtake about 50 very slow, small children who were using the same narrow path as us. We overcame this obstacle and made it to the pier where we caught a steamer along the lake to Glenridding. It was fun but very cold.


Upon arriving at Glenridding, it was then a short walk along the road to Patterdale.
