| Walk: | Nicky Nook, Grize Dale, Woodacre Pasture, Moor House, Oakenclough, Grizedale Bridge, Fell End, Potter's Hill, Wyresdale Park | ||
| Start Point: | Wyresdale Park | Grid Reference: | SD 508 490 |
| Distance: | 8.5 miles | Ascent: | 1,450 feet |
| Time: | 3.75 hours | ||
| Weather: | Sunny spells | ||
| Comments: | The target of this walk was to check out a cottage at Oakenclough - quite a remote position. Much of the walk had been done previously in the opposite direction and a couple of new sections were added. A pleasant walk on a warm day. | ||
Harrisend Fell and Calder Fell from Nicky Nook
Grizedale Reservoir is well hidden but I managed to find a gap in the bushes
Reception should be good around here!
Grouse everywhere - but I just mangaed to catch one
The target for this walk - the row of cottages in the centre of the photo . . .
and from a closer vantage point . . .
then zooming in - the third window from the right
Access to the front door is through the gardens of the other cottages
The rear gardens are quite long . . .
but very narrow
The view from the rear . . .
and another from the front
I don't think this car has moved for quite a long time!
Grizedale Bridge shelter with car parking space behind
Looking over Fell End Farm, past the Forton Service Station on the right and Heysham Power Station on the left, with the Lake District Fells in the distance
Loccal residents enjoy their lunch
Follow the leader
Is this my best side?
Wyresdale Lake which is surrounded by a dense planting of trees
