So the first proper day of our holiday in the Lakes, done to celebrate a birthday with an 0 in it for myself. Unfortunately the drizzly weather had followed us to the Lakes, and as you saw, from the fields around our previous walk to Scout Scar, they’d had rain up here as well (that was about to change though in future walks). Still there are plenty of walks to be had, which don’t head up high, or need plenty of supplies to complete. We drove the mile from our house to Brumston Bridge, under Ling Fell ready for the short circuit around this little Wainwright. Its starts with a steep ish road climb up to the fell bottom, before a gentle track loops anticlockwise to the summit. If you carry on over the top as we did, you hit a steep grassy descent back down to the road up. You could return back the ascent route if you wanted, to make a more gentle descent as well. The weather drizzled for most of our walk, and water ran down the lanes to join streams and becks which were running in spate, but it was a short outing and our waterproofs dried quickly once back at the house.

The front room of the accommodation, I was stood by the window next to the telly taking that last photo. So we were two walks down already at this point, with one Outlying Wainwright in Scout Scar and one proper Wainwright in Ling Fell, with more to come!
