Kaze Wo Ukete
19 January 2006
Had a very enjoyable time today taking a leisurely walk around Beacon Fell with a friend of mine. Despite it being very overcast, the weather actually made the whole experience even better. The clouds were very low down, lingering in the tops of the trees near the summit of the hill. Walking through the fairly dense tree sections meant you were in a cinematic atmosphere, with the mist enveloping the whole area, creating an eerie spectacle in the dim light. It looked just like a scene out of the film 'Dog Soldiers'. We did a short loop around the area - hiking West to the tourist centre, then heading North and climbing to the summit before returning to the car to the East. Earlier on in the morning we had visited a supposedly haunted house called Chingle Hall. Took a little bit of time finding it as it wasn't signposted along the way. When we finally got to the location we were surprised to find that the building was a lot more modest than we had thought. Mike knocked on the door to enquire if they still accepted visitors. After some rather spooky creaking and clanking a lady opened the door. Unfortunately they no longer allow tours within the house but she did say that there was indeed paranormal activities in the building. We'll have to take her word for it but while we were there it didn't seem too bad. 'The truth is out there' as it were...
