I see this has been added too the Nuttall list since my completion so I thought I would use it for an excuse for a walk even though I know I have walked this ridge previously. Got just about the last place in the car park which surprised me considering it is a Monday and mid-morning. Up from the A470 car park and a nice rest in the sun on top. | Father Ted | 16/03/2020 |
