While bagging Hard Knott . | Haygalzer | 05/05/2014 |
I walked up this Hill by scrambling up after Hard Knott and didnt know it was a hill but it looked so enticing so scrambled up the North Side (good hand holds mixed with moss and grass) and then climbed on all the rocky protuberances. Mist started to roll in reducing visibility but I could still see ahead of me was the ridge holding Border End so I walked down the easier South side and up to Border End before continuing roughly down Raven Crag until I reached the Hardknott pass where I walked back to the Woolpack Inn. | Dazingdale | 30/04/2014 |
