Green Pikes

Green Pikes hardly appears prominent from close up, certainly compared to nearby Caw and Pikes. Yet it is sufficiently noticeable when viewed from some directions to merit its own name. In the background is the upper Duddon valley, with Harter Fell on the left.

Tales of a Tarmac LaneâBarn, Bend, and Blue Pipe

A glimpse down a paved path leading to a leftward bend, featuring a stone barn sporting a slate roof, with its barn entrance sealed shut by corrugated steel. A conspicuous coil of blue water pipe leans nonchalently against the barn's side wall.

Footbridge over the River Duddon

There are stepping stones a short distance downstream (to the right), but nobody in their right minds would risk them when this bridge, constructed in 1934, is available. The stones are large and often sloping, and a slip could easily result in a broken ankle, or worse. For the acknowledgement to the bridge builder, see SD2296 : River Duddon footbridge plaque.

River Duddon footbridge plaque

The plaque on the bridge seen in SD2296 : Footbridge over the River Duddon and SD2296 : Stone footbridge over River Duddon. If anyone can tell me who A.F. and R.A.F. are, I would be interested. In context, they are clearly not just 'Air Force' and 'Royal Air Force'.

Postbox on Hall Bridge

An unusual spot for a postbox, on a bridge over the River Duddon, but presumably convenient for local residents (and the postman!). The box is seen in more detail in SD2195 : Postbox, Hall Dunnerdale.

The north-east ridge of Caw

The rather faint path heads for Pikes. In the distance is the Dow Crag / Old Man of Coniston range.

Descending to Seathwaite from Green Pikes

Looking to the upper Duddon valley, with Hard Knott in the middle distance (just left of centre) and the Sca Fell range beyond.

Drystone walling on Green Pikes

The way in which the waller has coped with the short cliff is impressive.
