18 06 04 - Haycock and Seatallan - with Paul Drury. After a night at the Wasdale Head Inn we were faced with another early morning downpour but fortunately things brightened up as the day progressed. We started from Greendale and followed the path along Greendale Gill towards the tarn. From the tarn we climbed towards Haycock via Pots of Ashness and approached the summit up the steep western flanks of the fell. As we dropped down from Haycock towards Seatallan the sun was still shining, as can be seen from the photograph, but as we approached Seatallan the clouds and rain rushed in behind us from the direction of Ennerdale. The climb up Seatallan was accompanied by howling wind and rain but the weather eased at the summit and began improving considerably as we descended. |

Why is this place called Greendale?
