Despite not yet having completed the English Hewitts I decided I could no longer resist my desire to return to my homeland and decided to make my debut on three hills encircling a firing range above the village of New Radnor. The firing range, which is revealed at the end of the walk, is actually qu...

Windy Ghyl to Cushat Law from Barrowburn.gpx The Cheviot Hills represent a relatively long drive from Lancashire and I recall considering, when heading up there for the first time in October, that perhaps I should attempt the near 40k circular to take in all six Cheviot Hewitts at one pass. Well, I...

The Cheviot (1).gpx I finally made it over to make an attempt at climbing the six Hewitts in the Cheviots. It has been a wet summer so this two day trip has been delayed on a number of occasions, but, with a 48-hour window of good weather I was fully expecting clear summits and some quite wet under...

High Spy to Robinson (1).gpx For this group of Hewitts in the Derwent Fells south of Keswick I had the luxury of choosing an end-to end walk so I chose to use the Borrowdale Gales Hotel as a starting point. The footpath rises gently to begin with, heading right at Swanesty How to rise more steeply ...

Rogan’s. Seat (1).gpx Following my early morning ascent of Yockenthwaite I drove along minor roads on a quite beautiful route via Hawes over to Keld village for the ascent up Rogan's Seat. I had never been to Keld before but I will certainly be returning t enjoy a more leisurely walk, perhaps in Au...

Yockenthwaite (1).gpx This was the first of three walks today, connected by car, and topping three Hewitts in the north of the Yorkshire Dales, Yockenthwaite, Rogan's Seat and Nine Standards Rigg. I reckoned on about 5 hours of walking mostly on there-and-back routes, with about 50 minutes of drivi...

Selside to Grey Crag (1).gpx The route for these four Hewitts begins by the side of the minor road at Rowantreethwaite Beck. The signpost directed me along the Old Corpse Road which I used to gain height rapidly onto Mardale Common. Perhaps I broke off across the fell a little early and there may b...

Thack Moor, Grey Nag and Black Fell (1).gpx One of the notable outcomes in attempting to tackle all of the English Hewitts in multiple trips over two years is that about 70% into the journey it becomes much more difficult to put groups of four or five tops into nice circular routes. This is probabl...

[attachment=1]Mosedale to Threlkeld.gpx[ This is a great round of four Hewitts nestling to the north of the large mountain masses of Blencathra and Skiddaw. I chose to follow a linear route from Mosedale through to Threlkeld but there is an excellent alternative from Skiddaw House eastwards which co...

Dodd Fell and Drumaldrace.gpx My wife kindly dropped me off on Gayle Moor at Newby Head Moss so that I could make this an end-to-end walk over the two Hewitts to the south of Hawes. This was cloudy but dry late November day with the route starting from the road at 400 metres elevation. One of the n...

The Pillar ridge thru to Haycock.gpx This Monday morning offered one of very few breaks in the rain and cloud which was dominating the month of March. So the long early morning journey to Ennerdale was made much more enjoyable by the bright sunshine on the tops around Keswick. I chose to park at th...

Calf Head (1).gpx This was my first trip of the year to add to my 100 Hewitt total, so on a bright March morning I decided to rebuild my enthusiasm for the goal of climbing all 170+ English summits by tackling a single hill which dominates the ridge above the Barbondale Valley. The little bit of co...

Well it was a fine morning close to the longest day so it was just great to be out there so early! One of the advantages of being retired is I can choose the best weather days...and this was spectacular.

This was an overnight trip to the Lakes in the motorhome commencing with an ascent from Mungrisedale starting at 5.40 pm in perfect weather. I more or less followed the route of the Blencathra fell race which I clearly recall as being one of my best performances from the 1990s (i.e. in the top third...

Thanks for posting - think I'll copy this one once we get a drier spell. Been meaning to revisit them all and a Southern approach appeals. Cheers Yes, the southern approach to the round has the huge advantage of finishing outside a very good pub. Mildly interesting point in that the first Hewitt ha...
