| Walk: | Losterdale, Langden Intake, Trough Barn, River Brennand, Whitendale, Dunsop Head, Beatrix | ||
| Start Point: | Lay-by near Langden Brook | Grid Reference: | Lay-by near Langden Brook |
| Distance: | 10.6 mile | Ascent: | 2,660 feet |
| Time: | 5.75 hours | ||
| Weather: | Overcast but mild | ||
| Comments: | A pleasant walk crossing the fells to link three valleys. On the route to Dunsop Head the peat bog erosion is quite severe in places. After a visit to the trig point the route descends gradually most of the way back to the car. | ||
Langden Brook . . .
and again at Langden Intake
Lime Kiln
No snow here but a frozen pond
Brennand Fell . . .
with snow on distant fells
Brennad Fell to the left and Middle Knoll to the right - my route lies between the two
There is still a little snow around
Whitendale River . . .
beside Whitendale Farm . . .
seen again from the path . . .
to Dunsop Head . . .
which has an impressive signpost
A greylag goose . . .
has a lot to say for itself!
I think the trig point . . .
needs a coat of paint
Crossing the River Dunsop . . .
as it meanders into Dunsop Bridge
