Uldale Fells

Walking Diary (All Walks) Lakeland Wainwrights Northern

For me, the Uldale Fells for me are something special. Gentle walking with just about the softest underfoot walking you are likely to find in the Lakes. Nothing too strenuous, but yet you feel you have still had a full days walk. It's a very quiet area and the views are generally enhanced by the lush/green terrain. For those Wainwright baggers - it's also a large catch for minimal effort.

Parking

A handful of parking spaces on the roadside at Longlands - this is a very quiet area but these normally get taken

Taken from Brae Fell summit looking back the route I walked

Same spot at the top of Brae Fell looking towards Skiddaw

A bit scary for passers by ! But it's very cold today so I had to be well wrapped up.
