Contoured round from High Dodd but got held up by short sharp thunderstorm partway. Managed to find a good spot to sit it out. Then just deep wet bracken to contend with! Fine summit and viewpoint. | Aye Jimmy | 08/08/2014 |
Travelling north from The Knight it is possible to follow paths that follow a direct line most of the way. If you head straight down from The Knight into the north directional valley you pick up a track that becomes a better path lower that you get. It crosses the stream easily and eventually makes it way up this beastie. | moorsman | 20/06/2014 |
