Walk 1109 - Harter Fell & Nan Bield Pass from Mardale Head - Lake District Cumbria - a detailed walk description from ... The start is the small carpark at the western end of Haweswater Reservoir (Grid ref. NY468107) and includes a relatively easy ascent of Harter Fell (the Mardale version not the Eskdale variety!) with a superb walk down from Nan Bield Pass back to the start. This bridleway heads roughly south-east climbing easily with the steep crags of Harter Fell rising on your right and the smoother slopes of Branstree on your left. The summit of Harter Fell is not very inspiring being rather too flat to offer a great view. www.walkingbritain.co.uk /walks/walks/walk_b.php?id=1109   (590 words)

HARTER FELL At the foot of the Fells is the valley of the River Sprint. Just prior to the top is the ideal time to take a further break whilst still being afforded some shelter by the lee of the slope. Pressing on now to the summit of Harter Fell (alt 772 metres) the effort is well worth the spectacular, almost aerial, view of Haweswater Reservoir. www.geocities.com /grahambutterworth/harter_fell.htm   (671 words)

Lake District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The higher fells are rocky, with lower fells being open moorland, notable for its wide bracken and heather coverage. In the south of this region are the fells overlooking Kentmere, and to the east is Shap Fell, a huge area that is more akin to the Pennines than the Lakes, consisting of high flat moorland. The Mid Western fells are a triangular shape, with the corners at the Irish Sea, Borrowdale and Langdale. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cumbrian_Mountains   (3558 words)

NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Lake District   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The Lakes, as the region is also called, were made famous during the early 19th century by the poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets. These two lakes are in a class apart from all the rest, being broader for their length, and quite shallow (about 18 ft. average and 70 ft. maximum), as distinct from the long, narrow and deep troughs occupied by the other chief lakes, which average from 40 to 135 ft. deep. This lake collects waters by the Brathay from Langdale, the head of which, between Bow Fell and Langdale Pikes (240, ft.), is very fine; and by the Rothay from Dunmail Raise and the small lakes of Grasmere and Rydal Water, embowered in woods. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Lake-District   (628 words)

List of fells in the Lake District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of fells, hills, mountains, groups of mountains and subsidiary summits and tops in the Lake District, England. These are the 214 fells selected by Alfred Wainwright for a chapter in his seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. The Hewitts are hills which have a relative height of at least 30 metres (approximately 100 feet), and are over 2000 feet (approximately 610 metres) above sea level. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/List_of_fells_in_the_Lake_District   (263 words)

[No title] With about 50 Wainwright summits left to do in mid-1999, I decided Harter Fell (the one in Eskdale, not the one above Kentmere) would be my last. I did the fells above Longsleddale, and several around Red Screes one weekend, and a few remaining fells in the west, between Wasdale and Ennerdale the next weekend. Harter Fell is a good fell - worth the choice as final fell. www.loughrigg.org /harterfell   (493 words)

Cumbria - The Lake District: Harter Fell from Hardknott Pass Harter Fell might be small but it's perfectly formed and it's situated in a stunning position. Although the walk to Harter Fell's summit is relatively easy, route finding can be problematic, as the approach path is vague on the ground. It generally follows a line on the east side of Harter Fell's northeast ridge, but the crest of the ridge is rounded and intersected with bits of scree and short crags which at a number of points the path manages to loose itself amongst. www.lakedistrictoutdoors.co.uk /routes/routedetails.cfm?routeID=95   (380 words)

Harter Fell and Hard Knott Photo Gallery by Richard Washington at pbase.com Harter Fell and Hard Knott Photo Gallery by Richard Washington at pbase.com Phil led a cracking walk with fine views of Eskdale and of many of the mountains in the vicinity, including Scafell Pike which we couldn't see the day before because of the fog. Then, heading north we dropped down to Lingcove Beck, admiring the spectacular waterfalls, paused at Lingcove Bridge again, and returned back along the River Esk, calling at the Woolpack Inn for a couple of Pints. www.pbase.com /rwashington/harter_fell   (152 words)

hackwriters.com - Man of action on Harter Fell by Graham Attenborough Compared to some of the great peaks that could be seen from its barren summit, it was rather small and yet, Harter was a killer, or so it now seemed to him, as he lay, helpless, upon its coarse, wiry grass like a staked out lamb. He knew why, because she’d climbed Harter Fell, she’d told him it was steep but not too bad and that anyway it was worth it because the view was fantastic. All at once, a band of steel was tightening around him; he fell to his knees, fists pounding on his sternum, cursing, ‘bastard, bastard’ trying to bully his own heart back into service. www.hackwriters.com /harterfell.htm   (950 words)

Chapel Stile, the Langdale Pikes and Scafell Group, Lake District, October 2001 Photos 7 and 8 are from a separate walk across Harter Fell which gave stunning views towards the Scafell group. The spoil tips from the slate quarries can be seen on the slopes of Lingmoor Fell and the quarrying noise can be quite obtrusive, spoiling this lovely valley. The Fell itself is worthy of day out and provides good walking, with excellent views of the Langdale Pikes. www.alan.rolfe.easynet.co.uk /photo/gal17.html   (382 words)

Offroad Adventures - Online If it weren't for two particularly unpleasant sections (the section of felled forest by Harter Fell and the disgusting lane leading off the Devoke Water bridleway) this would be one of the best rides in the lakes. The higher route via Fell Lane is preferable as it affords a fine singletrack descent, whereas the lower bridleway via Low Eskholmes may cross a private golf course, but also includes a section of filthy lane en route. Remnants of felling are mixed together with rocks and bog to provide an almost unwalkable, never mind unrideable few minutes of torture. www.offroadadventures-online.com /rr028txt.html   (1566 words)

StridingEdge - 2nd December 2004 - Harter Fell Today's walk is a circuit of Harter Fell, taking in some minor tops en-route including Green Crags. There are great views of Upper Eskdale from Harter Fell, especially Scafell and Scafell Pike which looked lovely today as it was so clear. A frozen Upper Eskdale from the path on Birker Fell; the Scafells to the left, Esk Pike and the pointy summit of Bow Fell to the right. www.stridingedge.net /Walks/2004/12.%20December/2.12.04.htm   (142 words)

TAC 64: Harter Fell and Binsey - TAC Quiz answers 2004/05 Harter Fell and Binsey would make a great name for a band. This required knowledge of the ancient discussion (see TAC23 p15) re the frequency with which letters are repeated in names, eg Tom Weir (for whom, three cheers) is 7:7 because he has seven letters, all different, whereas Hamish Brown is 10:11 because of the two Hs.

Kentmere & Haweswater Fells It was clear and breezy in the sunshine in this quiet and attractive area, but we noticed the signs of rapidly changing conditions on the high tops ahead, which was to set the pattern for the next three days. Just after passing through a wall on Cocklaw Fell at 477039, a thin path climbs N alongside the cross wall to a stile and descends N to the byway. Approaching Harter Fell the mist closed in on the summit but cleared beautifully just as we arrived at the cairn, giving fine views of High Street and revealing the first of the dramatic light contrasts of the trip, with the gleaming white snow against the dark distant clouds. v-g.me.uk /Trips/T0769/T0769.htm   (1197 words)

The Cumberland News OVERVIEW: The shapely peak of Harter Fell may be only 2,140ft high, but its craggy outline as you approach it from Eskdale gives it a far mightier appearance. Eventually, having crossed a damp area, you crest the eastern flank of the fell to be greeted by a magnificent panorama of mountains, including the Scafell group, Bow Fell and Crinkle Crags. Eventually, towards the base of the fell, you will be joined by a path coming in from the left. www.cumberland-news.co.uk /features/viewarticle.aspx?id=389610   (1439 words)

Striding Edge Newsletter - Eric Robson Harter Fell pin sharp in the clear, frosty light. What prompted me to jot down this New Year newsletter was that on the stroll I bumped into about a dozen Striding Edge regulars who all wanted to know what our new projects are, having seen the new Christmas title Great Walks 5, Cameron McNeish’s stride out round the Wasdale Valley. Well Cameron’s next venture for us is an exploration of one of the least well known walking areas on the fringe of Lakeland – the Howgill Fells. www.stridingedge.com /coming_soon/index.html   (427 words)

Harter Fell (Dudon Valley) George by the trig point, near the top of the Duddon/Eskdale Harter Fell (654m / 2146ft). Although the weather had been beautiful when we left Broughton, by the time we reached the summit 90 minutes later, it was thick mist We ascended via the public footpath from Birks farm straight up the side of the fell, but it was diverted significantly due to the major forestry clearance underway. www.luphen.org.uk /public/2004/2004harterfell.htm   (156 words)

A hiking guide to Eskdale - Lake District On the south side of Eskdale, Harter Fell is well worth a climb - the very summits require some handwork to get to their tops and they are thus very satisfying. Harter Fell rises up prominently above a large expanse of moorland and thus commands some excellent views of the fells to the north and east and also the sea to the west. Other fells of interest are quite low in altitude but provide good easy strolls to kill time. www.umsu.manchester.ac.uk /hiking/hikedests/eskdale/index.html   (455 words)

Friends of DalesRail | Past Events But now the real goal was in view and loins were girded to conquer Harter Fell. All was not lost, however, and after a good yomp the trig point on Dundreich was reached and we fell to kissing it as if it were the Blarney stone. Soon we were rewarded with a coffee stop and a view overlooking Osmotherley, before continuing up to emerge on to a thankfully level track in between forest and the edge of the moors. www.friendsofdalesrail.org /pastWeekends2005.html   (4083 words)

Wainwright diary for May 1987   (Site not responding.

Then to the top of the hill, back to the col, and straight on to the foot of Harter Fell (photo). I reached the crest of the pass and then followed the cairns to the summit - a tedious route, but superb views of the Scafells from the top (photo). www.gillean.demon.co.uk /Wains/May87.htm   (611 words)

Westmorland Heritage Walk Diary 1993 Part 4 The going over Bow Fell and Crinkle Crags was quite slow for the same reasons as before, but I counted on the fact that, after Pike O'Blisco I should be able to crack on at a good pace. It was difficult to get used to all the relaxation, but it was just as well to build up my strength for the next day's 25-mile walk and give my feet a well-earned rest. After Harter Fell, which commands a very good view of Hawes Water, I dropped down fairly steeply into Longsleddale which certainly lives up to its name. www.gtleisure.co.uk /walks/wh93/westlndd.htm   (2028 words)

The Lake District Walker - A walking guide to the English Lake District Fells Starting from Buttermere we headed across the fields to Scale Bridge we were suprised by the amount of standing water on the path and the water levels in the river which was very high, not enirely suprising considering the amount of rain yesterday though.... A damp walk over Grange Fell from Grange, climbing the path from Troutdale Cottages and crossing the Kings How and Brund Fell summits before descending to Rosthwaite and returning along the riverside path to Grange. We decided on a linear walk today as we were using the bus, from Grasmere we climbe to Easdale Tarn and Blea Rigg before dropping down the other side to Stickle Tarn before climbing the wonderful (but busy) Jacks Rake to Pavey Ark, continuing over Harrison Stickle, Loft crag and Pike O'Stickle. thelakedistrictwalker.com   (844 words)
