Name of walk	Burney
Date of walk	2018-10-10

Today was another rare blue sky day so I headed, once again, for Grizebeck and the A5092, turning off on the road sign-posted to Woodland, between Beanthwaite and Gawthwaite. I was going to do a circular walk up to Burney, another of Wainwright’s walks from his ‘Outlying Fells’ book. The walk is only a mile and a half, and takes about an hour. I have a lawn to mow and bulbs to plant this afternoon, so it is an ideal walk to do.

The view of Burney I took on my last walk. The parking space is where the white car is.

View from the parking space.

Moor House Farm. It is warm, but hazy, today. So no great views. There is a rusty 'No Parking' sign on the right, but it is a large space with ample passing room.

Just opposite the parking spaces is the track, on the right, the road I drove down.

I head up beside the wall, aiming for the side of Combs.

There is an ancient stone circle here. But it could be any of the areas of random stone. A good rock to demonstrate the 'freeze/thaw' process!

This looks the most likely prospect, but I'm not convinced!

The cairn that marks the start of the grassy track up to Great Burney.

The route ahead. I can see the OS cairn on the top.

View back from the climb.

The view toward Little Burney and Beacon Tarn and Coniston Water.

A hazy Dow Crag and Coniston Old Man. Blawith Knott in the foreground.

Stickle Pike and Caw can just be made out.

A closer view of Beacon Tarn and Coniston Water.

The summit.

The winding Woodland Fell road and Blawith Knott, my last walk.

Heading down, Kirkby Moor ahead.

Close up of Burlington Slate Quarry.

Baaaa!

It is a warm day! Even I spent five minutes on the summit lazing in the sunshine.

Looking back the way I have come.

Burney Farm and Burney Tarn.

Close up of Burney Tarn.

View towards the Duddon Estuary and Blackcombe.

Still good views despite the haziness.

I head off left down the steep grassy slope back to my car.

The walk took me an hour and ten minutes. It is very easy!
