Nearing the end of my stay in the Lakes and the weather has turned a little, meaning just two more short walks before I leave. Ling Fell is a very simple walk from any direction and is perfect for a day when cloud covers the higher fells, or you need a quick walk to keep your Wainwright total ticking on.

| Distance – 1 ½ miles Start time – 2.45pm Time taken – 1hr Highest Point – Ling Fell 373m |

Brumston Bridge
As I walk up the road the views through to Embleton open up
On the Corpse road path now looking across to Sale Fell
Lake Bassenthwaite and Sale Fell
Embleton village on the right as I look towards the coast and Scotland
Higher up the path…
and into view comes the summit trig point
Ling Fell summit and Sale Fell behind
Skiddaw would normally be over there on the left but low cloud stops the views
Looking back to the summit and the ground that runs to the coast beyond
Broom Fell and Barf up in the clouds on the right
Wythop Moss and the dip of Widow House visible
Final look to Sale Fell
Heading back along the path to the road and the car, nice to tick another of these little Wainwrights off on a low cloud day
