Having just found the song Bec was going to walk down the aisle too on the journey there we parked up at the parish hall in Seathwaite. This wasnt the original plan today a much easier walk over to the Knott but I missed the turn so ended up here. Following the obvious path next to the wall before turning sharp left on the old quarry road to the ruins. Bec was really struggling today but the going was fairly easy and straight forward. After a break at the ruins we hit the steep bit following the cairns where the views started opening up. At the summit the views were amazing over to the estuary and behind to Scafell range. I absolutely love this summit and fell, we spent 40 mins on it and one Ill definitely be wild camping on.Scotty 2 Hotty06/08/2022
