Re: One wet foot

Hi JK You definitely picked the the right time for these delightful three as the photos show. I loved the pic of Armboth Fell and noticed that some unfortunate soul had added two extra rocks since we were there last year :clap: . Coincidentally, in a straw poll last Sunday whilst in the Langdales, A...

Re: Grike, Crag Fell, Lank Rigg and the disappearing hounds

Can I ask how long this one took? I like the idea of knocking off all three at once...I was there just before Xmas but got blown off the mountain as I came up from behind the forest and in the open where the fence/gate is? Gutted as it wasn't somewhere I really wanted to go back to but the wind lit...

Middle Fell, Haycock, Caw Fell, Seatallan and Buckbarrow

Plan B, Sunday After Saturday’s walk it was off to YHA Wastwater via Screes Inn for a deserved pint of Robinson’s best and a packet of crisps. Consuming said fare wasted enough time to arrive at YHA Wastwater just as Reception opened at 5pm. A friendly welcome, use of the member’s kitchen and a coup...

Grike, Crag Fell, Lank Rigg and the disappearing hounds

This is the first of three reports for the weekend just gone, a weekend of good weather, great walking and mysterious finds. So this was plan A. Saturday, drive the endless road to the Western Lakes; two and a half hours plus from Bury to an interesting spot on a narrow road near the start of a foot...
