WOW! I walked up from Grisedale Crossing to the south east (SD 79212 93495), after arriving Garsdale on the 07.05 Skipton to Carlisle train. A brilliant hike up on excellent paths/ATV tracks in good weather. A couple of well earned pints in the Moorcock Inn before my train back to Skipton was a great end to the day.

A White Christmas in the Lakes and North Pennines. A very wise decision to do the Nuttalls walk 11.2 in adjacent Yorkshire Dales (quote Nuttalls "if the Howgills are quiet then these hills are deserted"). The ground was frozen solid which certainly made the boggy moorland easy walking. A gift to the Xmas Eve edition of the The Archers. I swear I didn't breathe when Kirsty confronted hubby.

A few harsh winters will perhaps see its status being changed to 'toppled'. Top cap missing, asphalt plug. Fine panoramic views.

From Swarth Fell. What a shame some imbecile decided to remove the FB. The pillar is still standing but the blockwork removed counts for around 1/3 of its thickness, Probably only a matter of time before another bunch of twerps come along and decide to topple it. WBF is a superb viewpoint and has a real air of mistique about it. I doubt anyone would argue though that the old top at the cairns guarding the edge above Mallerstang is the best spot up here.

Pillar vs pillocks The result of a deliberate act to steal the flush bracket no doubt.

OSBM flush brackets (10797 and 11810) appear to have been on the ENE face, the recess has been replaced with stone and mortar. Vented through SSE sight hole, others blocked or destroyed. Potential views lost to low cloud on day of visit. More blurb to follow.

Walked a long, arduous 15-16 miler to take in Wild Boar Fell and its tops, plus much of the western Mallerstang skyline. Wonderful walk. Previous trig site obviously became the current replacement site. The replacement trig - as remembered - was in a very weathered state, stone-built, but intact. Stone windbreak/shelter was very welcome.

Great walk! Went up from Thrang Bridge to join the ridge at High Dolphinsty and then along to both summits; I'd say the views are better from the eastern edge of the plateau (at the 7 cairns) than at the trig point. Returned by a similar route. Very lucky that the rain held off for most of the walk.

All in all one of the worst walks I've done in a long time. Walked in from Rawthey Bridge, via Needle House and ascended from the SW. The whole ascent is one huge sucking bog, which has been fed with rain water for the last few weeks and I was soaked to the knees before I reached the summit. Cloud cover killed any views. The only consolation was the view from High White Scar and the 10(?) cairns along the ridge, clouds lifted in time for this at least. Returned via Swarth Fell (another spagnum bog) and Holmes Moss Hill, even bloody worse if that was possible. Not a great days walking as you can gather :)

Walked up from Hazelgill after a tedious drive in thick fog things looked bleak until going under the Settle Carlisle railway and emerging into a bright crisp morning looking back the fog could be seen trundling north along Mallistang and pouring into the Eden Valley which was a wide ocean of fog from the north Pennies over to the Lakeland fells wonderful sight, ahead the Nab and White Walls were coated red in the early morning sun,I followed the path up High Dolphinsty and on to the Nab where more wonderful views unfolded the Howgills look eerie emerging out of the fog and over the Howgills another ocean of fog until the high Lakeland fells the Scafell Massif and great gable could easily be made out at a distance of 35 miles, the walking was firm due to the frost its the first time I have had dry boots this month ! Had coffee at the trig and marvelled at the views with the only other walker I met we both agreed the sights where the best Christmas present we could have hoped for all be it a day early,had a quick look over the edge at Sand tarn then over the plateau to the well built cairns or standards not as grand as the ones on nine Standards rigg but well worth a look,a Christmas eve I will never forget,sorry for going on about it but it was one of those magical days that remind you what its all about.

Quite a high score as it's a bit different from the run of the mill trig point with its setting and cosy wee wall around it. Visited it while thinking of places to place my geocache, the bizarrely named 'Wild Boar Fell' cache.

A pleasant place to munch a sandwich on a clear, sunny, day. I could not resist the urge to climb this little baby...

A stone built trig, FB missing. Probably hacked out with the stones that are missing from the FB face (right bottom corner). Stone also missing from the rear. Built in a stone shelter.

Bagged this one on a fine days walk from Garsdale to Kirkby Stephen, good views from Swarth Fell but the best view from Wild Boar Fell is from the Nab and not the trig point. No cars, on foot.

Hot day... Bagging 2000ers with the help of the Settle and Carlisle Railway. Some doubt as to whether the top is the trig, or on the rim of the plateau.
