Walk: Boredale Hause, Place Fell, Boredale, Boredale Hause
Start Point: Hartsop Grid Reference: NY 409 130
Distance: 9.5 miles Ascent: 2,800 feet
Time: 5.25 hours
Weather: Overcast with some low mist
Comments: The main purpose of this walk was to visit Place Fell where I hadn't been for some time. After descending into Boredale I decided to explore the valley back to Boredale Hause - finding a pleasant gradual ascent with a rocky scramble at the top.
