| From Brandreth in thick fog. I had to use a map and compass to find my way to the summit as I don't have GPS on my ancient phone. Stopped for a snack and water and lost my handkerchief in the process. Fell runner appeared as if by magic in the fog and disappeared... very surreal. Found a lost hiker at the bottom of Windy Gap and pointed him in the best direction. | NorthernWayfarer | 25/07/2017 |
| From Honister with Lou. Straight up from the YHA carpark up to Grey Knotts and onto Brandreth where we explored the various summits and excellent views. Continued up to Green Gable for lunch where we observed Great Gable and decided to go for it. Glad we did as the views we stunning. The Typhoon flypast at from Windy Gap was superb timing by the RAF. We returned via Windy Gap and Green Gable, then headed towards Brandreth but dropped down to pick up the Moses Trod path contouring around to the Tramway. A hot, still sunny day. Perfect! | Butty | 12/07/2017 |
