I tend to think of that whole area of low fells at the southern end of that ridge as 'Potter Fell' and hence 'The Potter walk'. I've often walked to the two tarns and rarely seen anybody else. When the heather is flowering it's lovely. I've not been to have a proper explore now that it's all access land.<br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-61029468359884516202012-09-05T21:26:49.074+01:002012-09-05T21:26:49.074+01:00Smashing post and pictures.

On the OS map that name appears, but also seems to incorporate, or be the same as Ulgraves (332m), a minor hill which may be worth a visit. I have been on the walk in my post several times before. I had intended to go north from Potter Tarn up to Brunt Knott Farm taking in Brunt Knott trig then east to Bridge End and back to Garnett Bridge, but for the moment that is a bit too far.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-88980249836910633152012-08-27T21:46:25.300+01:002012-08-27T21:46:25.300+01:00You have my sympathy Conrad; I know only too well ...You have my sympathy Conrad; I know only too well how frustrating dealing with physical limitations resulting from surgery can be. Here's to a speedy recovery forthwith. In the meantime, the Kentmere and Potter Fell walks are classics of their kind. Previous experience suggests that not too many people know the Potter Fell one either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-46111776216257200132012-08-27T20:44:07.222+01:002012-08-27T20:44:07.222+01:00Welshpaddler - Thanks for your comment.

It has poured down all day. Yesterday we had a family gathering sitting on the beach at Llansteffan. Forecast looks OK on Tuesday and another gathering, this time on the Mon & Brec canal. This will hopefully be my grandson's first trip in a canoe.welshpaddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385863790733204366noreply@blogger.com
