I was camping very local to these two fells and, having not climbed either before, felt that walking up them before I moved on would be a good idea. In the event they took much less time than I'd anticipated, but they are pleasant short walks.

- Great Mell Fell from my campsite (after I'd climbed it in thick mist!)
Unfortunately, early morning mist didn't clear until I had been up and down the fell, so I saw very little at all. It was a short and easy walk, but one to do again when I can see where I'm going!

Little Mell FellThe sun having broken through, I decided to try my luck with Little Mell Fell. Much better!

Another pleasant, short and easy walk. Most suitable for a gentle, rest day or morning's walk with the kids.
