Greenburn Valley
7th June 2000  The Greenburn Valley lies between the Coniston Fells and Little Langdale. As with many valleys in this area the valley is served by an excellent track which is there because of previous mining activities. In this picture, looking towards the head of the valley, you can see Wetherlam on the left, with the less visited peak of Great Carrs in the distance. We presume that the "Green" in Greenburn is due to grass, moss, and bracken, and is nothing to do with copper in the stream (which is the normal colour).
