There are good steps over the wall on Kentmere Pike to access the trig. Theres good stile over the fence on Goat Scar to reach the lower viewpoint. I wonder why there is no easy way to get over the wall to the high point on Shipman Knotts. Solo. W180 Rnd6.

Back home! Getting reacquainted with familiar hills of old having just moved to live in Kendal. With L an early 8am start to beat the sunday crowds. Beautiful calm dry late summer morning with promise of a sunny day. Kemtmere is so quiet and calm and rugged and beautiful. As AW mentions Shipman Knotts is very rocky - with little rock steps even on the path up from the BW crossing from Kentmere to Sadgill. Noticeable how Green Quarter fell to the S is totally rock and crag free - a change in geology I guess? 4 black fell ponies monolith still watched us from up high. | Chris Pearson | 05/09/2021 |
