Followed the OS Pathfinder Guide for the walk to High Pike and back via Carrock Fell. Fairly easy gradual ascent up to the summit of High Pike with the pillar and a welcome bench. Sadly some scrote has nabbed the toposcope! Also sad to see wild campers with dogs off leads in the sheep pastures and a jerk on an electric bike riding all over the fell. Still, views were great but tempered a little by the early September heat haze. Route then took us over Carrock |fell and down it's rather unpleasant east face. Mill Inn was closed on Mondays so had to make do with a pint at The Boot & Shoe in Graystoke.

Part of a long hike encompassing all fells in the Back o' Skiddaw range, from Great Cockup to Longlands to Carrock Fell and back. Mixed day, but beautiful sunshine at top of High Pike. Trig has a viewfinder which I thought was neat.

Day 13 of 14: Dunbar to Keswick walk. Up from Caldbeck camp and finally the Lakeland mountains rise directly ahead. A straightforward ascent from Nether Row, just keep going up. Windy and rather too cold for sitting at the bench up top. Stone pillar giving massive views possibly the best view of the Solway Firth I have ever had. Onto Threlkeld via Lingy Hut and Skiddaw House, a beautiful day to celebrate the fact that it is quite possible to walk from Dunbar to Keswick on foot and camp all the way.

Set off from Nether Row, which was a new place for me, and walked past fenced off mine shafts on my way up to the top and the infamous bench. Last time I was up here in 2004 it was wet underfoot, today the whole fell was snuff dry.

There are multiple ways up High Pike. I set off from Carrock Beck and followed the old mine path all the way up to the top. The views would be amazing if it wasn't for the fact I was in the clouds.

Circular walk from Mosedale to visit 9 Birketts and a sleep over at Lingy Hut. Conditions underfoot were very dry and a trod now links 7 Birketts. Only met half a dozen people and one of them I dedicate this pillar to. He was 50 today and wild camping on his own with a picture of his dog Tina, whom sadly passed away 2 weeks ago. Only dog owners will understand this!. Onwards tomorrow to the Via Ferrata Extreme on Fleetwith Pike.

2nd trip up to Cumbria and at last able to get on to the hills, that said a murderous looking grey sky moving in so a bit of a speedy walk to Carrock. From Bowscale then the glorious road and slightly swampy route following Grainsgill Beck. The route down a little steep but beautiful - knees now recovered. Visit initiated by the fine photos on Hesket Newmarket ale bottles....and then they go and change the labels!

Rebuilt, in stone, this trig point is located on the NE edge of the Lake District overlooking the Eden Valley. It has a direction finder on its surface top. Next to it a pile of stones to seek shelter from the wind and a seat to soak up the westward views.Parked in the lovely village of Heskett Newmarket and walked up and through the mine workings from Wood Hall. Rolling hills with some deep ravines.

Nice stone built pillar which has had its spider replaced with a toposcope therefore unsure what's 'Good' about this pillar, with no spider it could not be used as intended, ergo 'Damaged' surely? LHS sight hole open. Cloud down, no views.

The second of seven Nutall summits on a fine summer day for walking. Got a pretty early start so I was down by the time it got too hot. Not a sheep in sight so I could let the dog off the lead for a while to stop him pulling my bad back. Oh, the trig, almost fogot - a nice example of a stone build.

Afternoon walk after wet morning from Green Head via Knott. Very windy with heavy showers so decided to get back to the car for tea which was a wise choice as the heavens opened.

bagged when on a 3 hour circular walk from the north, going on from High Pike along the ridge to Carrock Fell. Dusting of snow, quite draughty, and the tops in cloud.. but good views through the gaps. Surprising number of people out walking, considering the weather.

Metalwork on top of trig replaced by view marker plate (or possibly underneath it).

Not the usual metalwork on top of the pillar It looks as though this plate has been fitted instead of the original metalwork, although it could be attached over the top of it.

A neat masonry column with a direction indicator on the top in place of the usual theodolite bracket. The pillar is part of a suite of summit 'furniture' which includes a windbreak, somewhat dilapidated, and a smart slate bench provided as a memorial for a young fell walker who died at the age of 16 years.
