Lang Tarn

All the books, websites and general acceptance among people is that Foxes Tarn, rather difficult to reach and found high on the fells below Scafell, is the smallest "named" tarn in the Lake District. Having visited almost every tarn in the Lakes over the years, I've often had my doubts about this, but this one removes any uncertainty. I'm not trying to claim that Lang Tarn is the smallest, but I'm confident enough to say that Foxes Tarn is definitely bigger than this.
