Sale Fell

Friday broke and the weather wasn’t overly kind, the cloud was down again however it said brighter things would be with the Western Lakes by midday. I headed out after lunch for something easy, something new and preferably something not boggy (after all the rain we’d had!). I decided on a little North Western fell which was a simple 10 minute drive from Dean (where I was staying) and required very little effort. In fact I’d say this is the easiest Wainwright I have climbed to date.

Lake Bassenthwaite and Binsey as I make my way up from the church
Wythop Church in the trees
More of Bassenthwaite as I climb a bit higher
Looking back down the path
Skiddaw with its head in the clouds as always
Where I was yesterday, although I had no clouds then. Broom Fell with a wispy cloud on the right and Lord’s Seat to the left in the cloud
Sale Fell summit looking to nearby Ling Fell
Zooming in on Dodd
And a zoom to Keswick with St Johns church spire clear to see
The cloud clears from Lord’s Seat
Not sure this has a name, but that’s Embleton village on the right so I’ll call it Embleton Vale!!
Inside Wythop Church and back to the car
