Barton Fell

It was one of those mornings. Plans to spend time in the garden and do some housework. But it was beautiful outside, and we had a map on the worktop, just waiting for the right opportunity. We can see Barton Fell from the house, so now it's time to see the house from Barton Fell.
Setting out, we will walk off left of this picture over Heughscar Hill, along Highstreet to Arthur's Pike and then back onto Barton Fell. Our return route will be along the edge of Barton Fell, seen here on the left of the picture. It is from here we should be able to see the house.
Zooming in on Barton Fell, which overlooks Ullswater as seen in the picture above.
Wild Fell Ponies as we start to climb.
Now you really would be doing well to spot it from this, but my camera only has a limited zoom capability. You will just have to take my word for it that, with the help of a pair of binoculars, we really could see our house from here. It's pretty much central in this picture!
Eight miles of walking. Two wind burnt faces and one very tired dog later and we are still back in time to cut the grass and feed the livestock! Barton Fell in the background.


I guess the housework will wait;-)
