Mellbreak Fell

With Lydia safely back in her abode, we welcomed son and daughter-in-law Dan & Sara, complete with Spooky their lovely Samoyed who took to the hills with us.  As Spooky was recovering from a major operation, we chose a small mountain to climb.  Mellbreak, at 512 metres at its loftiest, is a symmetrical pair of peaks rising from the placid shores of Crummock Water.  An exciting ascent took us to the tranquil heathery and grassy plateau which provided splendid walking, views and bogs aplenty!

The waterfall is Scale Force, the highest full waterfall in the Lake District at 70m.  Very impressive.
