Aiming low - Sale & Ling Fell

Only a short walk today, for two reasons the cloud base was, as forecast,  low and the poor weather was to deteriorate even further as the day progressed. Sale & Ling Fell are an ideal choice for when every else is clagged up, it was also today's choice for a mountain bike orienteering event - a sport I'd previously never heard of.

Sale Fell over Burthwaite Woods from the climb up Ling Fell...



summit trig & cairn fight over the high point...

back at the road by Burthwaite

heading up Wythop...

a short & worthwhile detour to...


and yes that is a small potted Christmas tree complete with battery powered lights...

hardly any leaves left on the trees...

good views up Bassenthwaite Lake, would be better with blue skies...

Sale Fell from Lowthwaite...

and again from Rivings...

the beginnings of a cairn, two small stones...

descending & Ling Fell, arriving back at the car at the same time as the rain...
