Pleasant mini ridge looking into the lost wilderness that is the northern fells.

| From Sale How. Surprisingly fine ridge: grassy slope to NW and steep heathery crag and scree to SE, spoilt only by the fence that runs along its length. There are a couple of high points. The craggy end of Lonscale Fell dominates the scene. Easy descent to the Skiddaw House path then back to Latrigg c/pk, with a lot of tired looking hill-runners coming towards me! | Aye Jimmy | 19/09/2015 |
