Easy parking W. of bridge at 033332 & up Scawdmans Hill & Cardon Hill.

From Nisbet via Bendrie, Cow Castle, White Hill, Scawdman's Hill and Birnies Bowrock. Back over Cardon Hill and north down the ridge. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 14/01/2019 |
With Shaky & Smithy on a beautful cold, clear Ne'er Day walk from Culter Allers Farm. Up Fell Shin to the summit of Culter Fell & then following the fence line down & across to Chapelgill Hill. Crossed the fence to reach Birnies Bowrock directly & then followed the E side of the fence to the summit of Cardon Hill. Followed the other side of the fence back to the col underneath Culter Fell dodging a lot of detritus from the old fence. Dropped very steeply down next to Kings Beck to gain the track back to the start. A better plan would be to stay high on the shoulder to the N of the gully & then drop down the heathery slope to pick up the track lower down. | NotReallyABagger | 01/01/2019 |
