The very lonely, isolated Crookdale Valley with no habitants living here bar the farm at Crookdale Bridge. Saw several herds of deer, couple of frogs and completed the Crookdale Horseshoe. I approached from the SE and on the E side of the wall. Crossed at the fence/wall junction and came back on myself for a very short distance. Couldn't miss it. I have to give this to Wetherspoons who have given a phase for women to use at the bar if uncomfortable or harassed, "Is Angela working tonight"? An excellent step forward to protect females.

Good walk up from A6 memorial layby, but is on opposite of wall (east) to path, can easily get over at fence just a wee bit further on. (I then completed Crookdale Horseshoe)

A wonderful spot, from the A6 memorial with a few wades in the stream complete with icicles. Beautiful frosty sunset and an iced ring too.

40m due E of the hill's high point. Easy spot as exposed on the ground. Very securely fixed, unlike Seat Robert.

Unexciting circuit from A6 to here and back via Wasdale Pike - although I think I must have missed the Pike bit. Extensive views, especially to the east.

What a gem...deceptively long way from the layby on the A6 but well worth it. We basically followed the fence line and cut a couple of corners off (ish). The views today were stunning, all the way down to the power station at Heysham, the Howgills, Cross Fell and the SE lake land fells. The snow was much deeper here than Seat Robert and the trig was a little difficult to find!. Had noted GPS position on map from previous logs and it wasn't there! So we did the old fashioned pacing with the help of mickandshanes information. Anyway it was very enjoyable 'digging' in the snow and as a bonus we saw 3 Red deer. The logged grid reference is correct.

Circular walk from A6 Shap Summit. Over Robin Hood to Grey Crag and Tarn Crag, then Harrop Pike before returning down the Yarlside ridge. Excellent weather.

We parked in a layby on the A6 at NY554063 and followed the fenceline to the trig. A bit up and down but not as boggy as I expected. We made the mistake of carrying on to Lawyer's Brow which is slightly higher than Great Yarlside. Doubling back to the summit (marked by a very small cairn), the ring is about 40m ESE and about 10m west of the wall. Good views.

5th Wedding Anniversary. With Marion. Very, very wet. Wasdale Horshoe from Wainwright's Outlying Fells book. Rained all day and had to cross a flooded stream to get back to the car. Unusual "Trig Point".
