| A special place. Camped with Darren on grass by roadside junction on a nice summer evening and ambled up here after supper across the limestone pavement. All round views for miles of emptiness, just smooth rolling hills with hardly any sign of buildings or humans and no light pollution as the last bands of red sky died over distant Blencathra and Carrock Fell. Further enhanced during a nighttime loo call when looking up through thin herringbone cloud lit by a crescent moon to the vastness of stars. Few days later discovered that this emptiness is now to be added to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A good move (despite it being mostly in Cumbria) | Chris Pearson | 29/07/2016 |
| Very pleasant amble from the NW on grassy strip between limestone pavements. Fine old cairn. | Aye Jimmy | 16/05/2015 |
