Arthurs Pike | Andrew Pearson | 14/08/2013 |
Walked up from the dead-end road running away from Helton. Plenty of parking at the start of the bridleway and excellent, dry, easy to follow tracks all the way to the summit. Wouldn't do this on its own, best suited to part of a walk to the higher fells beyond. | moorsman | 02/05/2013 |
