Brilliant 13 mile day taking in Brae Fell, Great Sca Fell, Knott, Great Calva, Meal Fell, Longlands and Binsey | Shutterlag | 28/09/2015 |
First hill on circuit to collect few remaining Birketts. Track S of Orthwaite then green path diagonally across hillside behind Brocklecrag. Ascended Burn Tod up slopes from SW. There's been a heist - the summit quartz stone has gone! From the size of the hole it must have been at least 20cm long; all that's left in the hole is a tiny piece of quartz and tiny slate. | Aye Jimmy | 27/09/2015 |

Done solo. Having arrived back on the path between Knott and Great Calva the cloud lifted enough for me to double check my bearings and having realized that what I thought was Burn Tod was in fact Frozen Fell all along I did this on a there and back from the same path before heading off for Great Clava. Five minutes with my GPS could have confirmed this all along but I couldn't be bothered to stop and get it out in such appalling conditions on Knott. I didn't think that peak bagging was worth that much hassle. (I had been prepared to give up on a minor peak if it saved having to navigate with precision rather than the dead reckoning that I was using.) These moorland hills are all very similar to those at home and did not fill me with much inspiration! | Aimless Rambler | 31/08/2013 |
Ascended from Peterhouse Farm via Whitewater Dash, on day that started cloudy and hazy but later nice afternoon sun. Lots of Ravens around the Dash Valley.
