43. Not quite Harter Fell, 2nd May, 2015

5/6/2015

With Sophie. From our b & b near Windermere we drove over the hairy and spectacular 1 in 3 gradients of the Wrynose Pass. I thought this was bound to impress Sophie but she told me there were much steeper and more spectacular mountain roads back home in Norway. Which was me told. We parked up at the car park near Birks at HInning House Close and took the path to Birks. Right here onto the path that makes a rising traverse through the woods which we followed to the gate in the fence at the forest edge just shy of a kilometre short of the Hardknott Pass road. All the time in light but pretty unrelenting rain. Then we followed the fence south as far as the stile in the fence which which joins it from the west. From here the path that skirts to the east of Demming Crag towards the summit of the fell is boggy and a bit vestigial but not to hard to follow if you pay attention. We were maybe a kilometre short of the top when Sophie found herself feeling rather poorly so we gave it up. The fell won’t be going anywhere and there’s always another day. Maybe next time a different route and not this rather exasperatingly indirect zigzag along the two longer sides of a triangle.
