Blea Tarn on a sunny and calm September afternoon

Looking north across Blea Tarn, with the Langdale Pikes in the distance to the left, and Side Pike central. Although Side Pike appears nearly as high, it is much closer than the Langdales. Side Pike (NY2905) is just under 1km from the camera, and 224m above sea level, and only 34m above my position on the 190m contour. Pike of Stickle (NY2707) on the left is 3.5km distant, and 709m asl, Harrison Stickle (NY2807) is 3.3km distant and 736m asl.

Footpath on the south side of Blea Tarn

There's a very clear and easy footpath that takes you from the gate opposite the car park, along the south and west sides of the tarn. Then you can return along the road. (That's a large white fluffy dog on the path, not a sheep.)
