Cross Fell

For a change we headed to the Pennines today, the highest of which is Cross Fell at just under 3000ft. Part of the beautiful view we enjoy from the front of our house. We parked at Kirkland and headed up the bridleway

 

 

Just in case there is any doubt

Navigation is pretty easy on this walk!

Black Doors off to our left as we gain height

Breeze makes a dash for the cairn (don't tell her it's not the summit)

She insisted on a summit photo, even thought the summit trig point and cross shelter are a few yards further

After a very sheltered lunch in the cross shelter on Cross Fell, we continue on the Penine way for a while, heading towards the Golf ball on Great Dunn Fell - we can see this from home too!

Cow Green Reservoir in Teesdale comes into view as we start to descend

After leaving the Pennine Way and heading down Kirkland Fell we reach Littledale. We are following to the left of Littledale Beck

As we pass through Baron's Hill Farm, Breeze still has enough energy to make the most of the first crop of silage which is yet to be cut

A nice gentle walk back to the village to finish another lovely walk

The GPS told us we had walked 9.47 miles, but as the idiot (yes it was me) in the party forgot to switch it on for a while, I guess it was nearer 10!
