Pen-y-Ghent + 3
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 6:10 pm
For this walk the idea was to bag all four Hewitts in the Pen-y-Ghent area.I began the walk at the small car park at Dale Head just south of Pen-y-Ghent.
Following the Pennine Way I ascended Pen-y-Ghent before heading towards Plover Hill.
From Plover I descended down towards Foxup Beck and contoured around Plover hill to reach the minor road at Hesleden Bergh.
Following this road back to the Pennine way offered the easiest route up Fountains Fell before a gruelling bit of terrain to bag Darnbrook Fell.
Having to do this again to reach the Pennine way and get back to the car.
