Bleaberry Fell & High Seat
         
         
Date                   11/8/2002  

BLEABERRY FELL- it is a superb viewpoint, ideally situated for a long and lazy contemplation of a beatiful panorama.

HIGH SEAT - the top is uninteresting and all the charm and excitement concentrates in the steep and craggy lower slopes, especially on those to the west, where the woods of Lodore and Ashness are supremely lovely, crag and coppice and cascade combining to present scenes of peerless beauty.
