From Hooksey via Randygill Top. Nice little ridge and summit. Back to 404 by superb path contouring south-east Rndygill Top and petering out near Spengill Head. Got shelter out in a burlin and ate sandwiches. Good walk, often completely surrounded by mountain scenery. Would've been more enjoyable without the wind. 12km 3 hours 15 mins.Wycombe Wanderer07/02/2020
