Afternoon ascent after supply teaching day to Morecambe. Docile cows and popular dog walkers path up this drumlin hill rising above the fringes of Morecambe and its huge Bay - infamous for its treacherous mud flats and rapid tides. The Eden Project North is planned for the waterfront -reversing the decline of the once popular seaside town whose funfairs have long gone. Bradford-by- the-Sea was once it's nickname being a popular holiday and retirement venue by rail from dirty Leeds. Locals are rightly proud of Eric Morecambe who grew up here (taking his stage name from the town). They are less proud of Mr Blobby after the Blobbygate theme park (to the N of the hill ) financial disaster which lost the council a fortune.Chris Pearson21/09/2021

Over stile at top of Hexham Road, amble up the field; or it would have been an amble if there hadn't been a gale blowing. Very battered trig but the ground around seems marginally higher.Aye Jimmy24/12/2014

Eyed this one a many times while travelling up the West Coast Main Line so scheduled an extra 2 hours while on a visit to Lancaster to have a nosy up it. A short walk from Bare Lane train station and an amicable enough hill. Quite a few dog walkers about.Jake99408/03/2014

Poor trig! One rarely sees one in such bad condition. Walked from a friend's house in Morcambe and then onto Hesk Bank along the canal for a nice couple of pints in the hesk Bank pub before returning along the promonade.Father Ted30/06/2006
