Walk: Fell Foot, Parlick Pike, Nick's Chair, Fair Snape Fell, Higher Fair Snape,
Start Point: Lay-by off Startifants Lane Grid Reference: SD 601 442
Distance: 5.5 miles Ascent: 1,400 feet
Time: 2.25 hours
Weather: Misty start clearing during the walk
Comments: After doing lots of field walking recently, a quick trip up Parlick Pike and on to Fair Snape Fell made a welcome change. It's a shame that there was a mist obtructing the views in the early part of the walk but this cleared later on.

Heading up to Parlick Pike . . .

no views today . . .

but crossing Nick's Chair Bleasdale comes into view . . .

as the mist drifts up the hillside

Paddy's Pole and the upgraded shelter . . .

on Fair Snape Fell

After descending, Parlick Pike is clear . . .

but the mist rises on the flanks of Fair Snape Fell

Walking the plank . . .

is the only way to cross the beck
