| Final hill of the trip - and a bit of an unplanned bonus one. My friends had been a bit slower than me going up Little Mell Fell from The Hause and weren't interested in doing anything but Wainwrights anyway. I decided to sprint back down from Little Mell and nip up this one whilst they finished their descent. Summited this one at about the same time as they got back to the cars from Little Mell - fortunately they didn't drive off without me! I thought the views from here were actually better than Little Mell if I'm honest. Descended at lunatic speed, probably the fastest I've come off a hill. A very enjoyable bonus hill! | wheresthepath | 30/09/2019 |
