Where's the pic England v5

There's a lot of non-obvious tops around there - Blea Rigg was possibly the worst - but they're all a bit too close!

So I'll try Bessyboot on Rosthwaite Fell, which I found easily but by accident. (I'll just go up here and have a look around - oh, this one's the summit!)

Got it, it took me to 2 trips over Rosthwaite Fell to set my feet on the top of Bessyboot (lack of planning :oops:), never a hardship to go back though!

It's the Hewitt summit which has eluded me - no time to go up to it from Bessyboot, no time to go down to it from Glaramara.

I need to get rid of this quickly, as I'm off to Black Sail at the weekend! So where is this very pedantic summit cairn?

Time for a clue; it is on the slopes of a Hewitt but not a Wainwright

Another clue; The Green Rocks in the Quarry on the side of the hill may well give away it's location.
