| 9.8 mile circular from the minor road out of Helton. We followed lanes and easy trails onto Heughscar Hill. Then we ascended Loadpot Hill via the prominence-less Wainwrights of Arthur's Pike & Bonscale Pike. Probably the best way up to Loadpot summit. We descended via ATV tracks to Knotts back to road. 526m ascent all before lunchtime. Nice views of the bigger mountains clearing of cloud. A few dog walkers about. That afternoon we drove around to and bagged Moss Castle. | DanTrig | 03/03/2023 |
