Possibly one of the easiest mountains to climb in England, Up easy route from road to the south. Good views in great sunny/clear/breezy condtions.

It appears this has been freshly whitewashed. Parked at entry to track for Grass Hill Farm then ran up the track until I encountered a gate, at which point I followed the unmapped fence to the left, up to the trig at the summit. Back down to the gate and kept straight on to head for Three Pikes before descending to the road at Rough Rigg and running back up the road.

Nuttalls walk 10.1 from Burnhope Reservoir. A glorious bank holiday weekend and whilst some areas will be rammed with cars and people.....not North Pennines.....I met two people. Surprised to find this pillar in good condition. Rather a sturdy and defiant attitude up on these barren moors. Gifting to all LDWA members who due to Covid had to rustle up their own unsupported 100 mile route this weekend.

As previous, Roadside verge parking due S (NY 8217 3423). RoW is a bit tenuous in places and requires a bit of navigating. Extensive North Pennine views.

Easy brisk walk to this well manicured pillar. Its pristine condition is an unexpected surprise. The overcast weather prevented us from experiencing a view of which I am sure there is one.

A bit of a damp, mizzly day so no views to speak of. Walked up from Burnhope Reservoir and then continued onwards for an 8 mile circular walk. Mainly on tracks which seem to be set for more extensions given the number of earth moving vehicles about back towards the reservoir.

A bit misty today

Out with my walking group - The Irregulars, LDWA - on the forty-second of a series of walks that will visit all the 2000' summits in England and Wales. So, the opportunity to bag this one was just too good not to miss. Some slight damage to the top. Replacement resin type plug. Lovely viewpoint - could see for ever today.
