After Baugh Fell in the morning. Swarth Fell and Wild Boar Fell. from bridge over railway east of Swarth Fell summit. track from here takes you across left to wall, followed this up to point where it turned south then straight up rto ridge just south of Swarth Fell summit then north along ridge to Wild Boar Fell, an odd line of cairns before you get there. A very impressive summit shelter. North to Bridle Way, then back along road to start. Might have been better to double bacvk tyo Swarth Fell Tarn using walls as guide down to start point. A good walk. | dickscroop | 22/06/2022 |
