A mood change from the Lake District, the long sombre beautiful ranges of the Uredale series... appropriately enough after this space of bitds, sheep and wind I'm travelling near the river to Middleham Castle whilst the thunder clouds gather between the Dales and the Moors, as they tend to.

Walked the Cam High Road earlier this year with the idea of a detour to this top, but owing to extreme wind and rubbish visibility in the low cloud, I carried on like a good Roman to Bainbridge. Today was completely different; superb blue skies, a balmy sub- tropical November afternoon and a very attractive cairn with lovely views in every direction.

Altitude 615m. Cold start today but cracking weather by the time I got here.

A qualified 'Good', the OS report the cairn destroyed July 1976, so is the current cairn in same place as original? And even if it is, does it count as the trig? Maybe... maybe not.

Lovely 13 miles circular from Burtersett, taking in Wether Fells Drumaldrace Cairn and Dodd Fells trig, down to Hawes and back to Burtersett.

Dreadful weather, but another Yorkshire Dales 2K peak ticked off, then straight to Hawes for a pint and the creamery.

Probably Yorkshire's easiest 2000' top, just a minor detour from the track. The OS trig marks database records the station as 'Dest 07/76' so the present cairn is presumably a rebuild and possibly relocated. Good views across Wensleydale.

First of day parked on road next to bridleway should have been a fairly easy walk but was tricky due to ice on track,cairn is on the left just up a slight raise after gate/stile.Nice round little cairn well built in local stone,great views from here too but a bitter cold NW gale blowing today meant it was hard to keep warm. This fell is also a nuttall/hewitt summit as well.

Not sure about these Intersected Stations - not really trig points in my mind, but their addition makes for more bagging opportunities I guess. Walked in from Dodd Fell along good track then skipped across the peat haggs down into Gayle. Outstanding views from a minor summit.

Pennine Way from Hawes to Dodd, then returning over Drumaldrace. My non-digital photographs show the cairn being extant, but no sign of a bolt. Moderate views

Third visit to this easy Yorkshire 2000er. Cairn looking fine and relatively unchanged from first visit in 1978. Incidentally, Drumaldrace seems to be the name of the summit, the hill itself being Wether Fell.

Carrying on from Dent Fell - rough going through groughs and snow to the road then easy. Cairn just a heap of stones.

Summit visited in 1980s, already too late for the original cairn, whose remains were presumably used for the current cairn.

This is the mountain I have climbed most often as I have regularly stayed in village of Gayle at the foot of it for holidays over almost 70 years. This date of ascent was the first I had documented
