From Low Wythow. From High Tilberthwaite - free NT car parking - yes, it's not Pay & Display! Lots of knolls, bracken and marsh, trackless terrain.Isbjorn11/10/2020
Thick cloud on The Old Man so we opted for a potter around his lower Fells. From the village up the Mine Road then north along the narrow path to Lad Stones. In cloud so headed back down to Kitty Crag, Long Crag, High Wythow, Low Wythow and Brackeny Crag. Back to the village via Yewdale Crag and then a hairy, bracken camouflaged path.summitter16/07/2020
