Gael's Diary ~ Apr/May 2007

two weeks in the Lake District

 

Friday 4th May  ~  Dovedale and Hart Crag

Brothers Water from Angle Crag (Ann Bowker, Mad About Mountains)

Our path lies alongside the lake, past Hartsop Hall farm and swings right up Dovedale -  returning down Scandale Pass at top left, following the wall across the base of the hill and so back to the farm.
