Great Mell Fell.

[PauloUK77]

After completing Little Mell Fell we drove the short distance to Great Mell Fell.This time the little ones made it halfway,by the time we arrived at Great Mell Fell it was far too hot for them.
Leaving the the rest of the gang in the shade I walked the rest of the way.Great Mell Fell is more interesting than it's smaller neighbour because it has some trees on the lower flanks and some very wind swept trees higher up.

Great Mell Fells woods where we started our ascent.

The trees start to clear a little higher up.

Some very wind swept trees.

Great views of Little Mell Fell.

Nice one Paulo, great pics, love the wind swept trees shot and the one with the kids bum-sliding on the slope
