A wet and windy October day but needing some air without anything too epic, Hallin Fell ticks the boxes.
A steep little Fell, your little legs at just over 2&1/2 years old do so well to get up to these cairns with great views.
One of your best phrases …. ‘What a view’!!
A special fell for both Lou & me, (Tim & me walked up this fell just after getting married on our wedding day) we decided to head up on this beautiful winters day to show our children.
Lou explains the history to Evie and Evan.
Is Evie a Christmas angel come slightly early??
The beautiful old St Martins church where Evie checks out the acoustics!
Finishing the day off with a stunning sunset over Ullswater, and then heading home before it got too cold.
On a damp December morning we set off for a Christmas walk with Evie’s new baby friends (Bella, Willow, Oliver and Evan) and their mummy’s (Helen, Paula, Claire and Lou).
Parking at St Peters Church in Martindale, with the normal faff factor of multiple mums and babies, we set off down towards Howtown with the wind and rain on our backs.
What used to be one of my favourite easy off road runs makes a nice easy walk with a baby in a pack and lovely views without going up, perfect for wet weather days.
The other nice thing about this walk is it’s circular. On nicer days there are a number of gorgeous picnic and swimming spots and even a cliff jump into Ullswater. Maybe save that for when this bunch are a bit older!
Of course a damp walk must be rewarded with a nice cafe for a warm up tea and food! Granny Dowbekins in Pooley Bridge fulfils this job very nicely, especially with a big table and multiple high chairs.
This is where the Christmas outfits could finally be shown off !
