Unfortunately I've had to revise my plans due to a recent foot infection, so am putting on a shorter walk!
Boredale Round: Beda Fell, Angletarn Pikes, Place Fell
Boredale is a quiet and pleasant valley to the east of southern Ullswater.
We start the walk at St Peter's Church, Martindale.
Passing Martindale Old Church, we continue over the bridge and strike up onto the flank of Beda Fell.
The long ridge of Beda Fell runs for about two miles, leading to the highest point, Beda Head (1,607ft / 509 m). We carry straight on until we reach Angle Tarn, which is a good place for lunch.
At Angle Tarn, we take the Patterdale path to Boardale Hause, for the steepish climb up Place Pell. From the summit, we take the path to the east of High Dodd, before dropping back down into Boredale at Garth Heads, where we return via the little road to St Peter's Church.
Start: St Peter's Church, Martindale (opposite Hallin Fell), NY 435192
Start time: 09.30 AM, 08.30 AM from Morrisons car park in Kendal for car sharing
