| Comments: | A sunny start as we walked through Patterdale and onto Boredale Hause. It was somewhat cooler and quite windy by the time we reached the summit of Place Fell. As we crossed the ridge we decided to head for the descent from Sleet Fell. This gave a good ridge walk but the descent was steep and slippery in a couple of places. We walked across the fields to pick up the path onto Hallin Fell summit then headed down towards Hallinhag Wood. We returned through Sandwick and along the lakeside path but took the higher route just before Silver Point. It was difficult to find the path down to Side Farm but we spotted the best place to descend as we reached Side Farm. | ||
