Blake Fell...Best In The West! from Cogra Moss...inc Sharp Knott, High Pen & Low Pen.

GPX Download Of Track... https://drive.google.com/file/d/12rLk... Blake Fell is the highest hill in this group, the summit area being a long ridge running southwest along the "finger". This begins above the shore of Loweswater, rising steeply through the mixed forestry of Holme Wood to the craggy height of Loweswater End. To Carling Knott, (544 m), the north eastern summit. The ridge then dips slightly, the landscape changing from rock outcrop to grass, before the final ascent to Blake Fell. A transverse ridge now connects northwards to Burnbank Fell, in truth an outlier of Blake Fell, but given separate status by Alfred Wainwright. Southward is the narrow grassy col of Fothergill Head, providing a much more tenuous link to Gavel Fell. The western slopes are heavily wooded with conifers and contoured by forest roads. Blake Fell has a number of subsidiary tops. Descending south west from the summit are High Pen, (475 m), Low Pen, (435 m), Godworth, (365 m), and Kelton Fell, (310 m). Beyond lie the Croasdale road and the West Cumberland plain. Standing aloof from these tops, but still within Blake Fell's orbit, is Knock Murton at (447 m). This is a steep sided fell, forested on the western flank and with sufficient prominence that it is only barely excluded from the list of Marilyns in its own right. Blake Fell also extends a western ridge over the prominent top of Sharp Knott, (482 m), and the wooded High Howes, (313 m), falling gently to the village of Lamplugh. These tops are recognised in some guidebooks. Drainage from the western slopes flows via Sharp Knott Gill and Fother Gill to Cogra Moss. This is a reservoir sitting in the deep valley between Blake Fell and Knock Murton, a reed rimmed waterbody held back by a substantial dam at the western end. Also known as Arlecdon Reservoir, it has a depth of around 30 feet. The waters from this flank of the fell join the River Marron and ultimately the Derwent. The eastern face of Blake Fell flows either to Loweswater or to its outfall, ensuring that all of the drainage eventually runs to the River Derwent. #cinematic #dji #drone #djimini2se #mountains #mountain #rivers #hills #hillwalking #fellwalking #waterfall #lakedistrict #cumbria #lakedistrictnationalpark #nature #hiking #getoutside #wainwrights #birketts #hewitts #marilyns #wellbeing #alfredwainwright #billbirkett #liveyourbestlife #mentalhealthmatters
