From Greendale (no Postman Pat seen) up the good path to Middle Fell. Witnessed the end of summer sheep round up whilst walking over to High Pikehow. Once sheep cleared we went up the NE flank of Seatallan then took in the interesting summits of Glade How and Buckbarrow. A good path through the bracken got us back to Greendale Gill and a much needed dip on a very hot day. | summitter | 14/09/2020 |
