Today Janet, Poppy and I decided to do the Greenburn round. Nine miles and seven summits. We went from Low Tilberthwaite (hoping to miss the Easter Holiday crowds) up to Birk Fell (1750ft), Wetherlam (2502ft), Black Sails (2443ft),Swirl How (2630ft), Great Carrs (2575ft), Little Carrs (2300ft), Hell Gill Pike (2100ft), Wetside Edge, Rough Crags (1400ft). Then down to Greenburn beck along to Little Langdale Tarn and back over to High Tilberthwaite and then Low Tilberthwaite.

Wetherlam Edge. Several people in photo.....small!
Looking back down Wetherlam Edge just before we got to the climbing bit where it got steep and you had to guess the way and scramble up rocks. Luckily Poppy had a nose for the right way! People below us on the path.
Coniston Water. We had lunch on the far side of Wetherlam`s summit. Even Poppy had her own marmite sandwich! Quite a few people about and it was cold and windy so we didn`t stop for long.
Good view over to Crinkle Crags and Bowfell. Red Tarn in the middle. Pike O` Blisco on the right.

Route up Swirl How...A couple of people on the path.

Great Carrs from the summit of Swirl How. Very windy, I had to wedge myself against the cairn to take this.
