Lambrigg Fell 2013

 

Wednesday 7th August 2013 saw me up at 5.15am and preparing the flask of Baxters Lobster Bisque soup. This is surely the greatest soup of all time - it is divinely delicious.  The plan was for three simple 'fringe' Lake District summits. A blast up the M6, via breakfast and diesel at Charnock Richard services, landed me at Junction 37 and Lambrigg Fell G/LD-046.  Parking was as usual in the wide entrance of Roan Edge Quarry.

After going through the gate opposite, I walked up to the highest point of the access road that weaves around the wind turbines. Thence I weaved my own way up the undulating rough ground to the wall across the highest part of the hill. Contacts were made on 12m CW and SSB, but nothing on 2m FM.  I was back at the car before 9am, so a good prompt start to the day.  This would not last!  But now it was off to Arnside Knott G/LD-058.
