GREAT MELL FELL - its inverted pudding basin shape does not promise much for the walker and it is rarely climbed. on closer acquaintance, however, it is rather more enjoyable than its appearance suggests, because of the presenceof fine woodlands on the lower slopes, indeed pines and larchesb persist almost to the summit

The view across to Little Mell Fell from the start of the walk
 
The Eastern slopes of Great Mell Fell
 
Great Mell Fell summit cairn 
 
The view north from the summit as the cloud lifts
 
Looking back along the path to the summit  
 
Cloud lifts to reveal the westerly view
 
And another view over to Little Mell Fell from higher slopes of Great Mell Fell
 
...and admiring the view along the Penrith corridor.
