Nuttall walk 12.4 from the parking area at Halton Gill: Darnbrook Fell, Fountains Fell South Top, Fountains Fell, Pen-y-ghent and Plover Hill. Day started bright and warm but rain closed in and it was a typical, cold, miserable bank holiday by the end of the day. 15 miles of hard walking, but didn't see a soul except at Pen-y Ghent. | Lazylizzie | 30/04/2022 |
