A medley of 4 Tumps in 2 walks around Burnsall. For the second walk, I parked on the road in Thorpe, followed the cart track south towards Thorpe Fell, then through gates in walls and up the far side of the smaller Reef Knoll of Kail Hill. Retraced route to cart track, climbed wall and walked west across access land to the wood. Down to the col and then up the larger Reef Knoll of Elbolton. Grand view from the summit. Took the FP to Far Langerton and back along the quiet country to Thorpe. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 29/03/2021 |
