Brass Monkeys on Hart Fell
7.2 miles 685m ascent 3h 37m Blue skies….Hart Fell beckoned. The old Edinburgh road was passable and we parked at the community hut near Newton. Once past the first kissing gate we found what was in store for us; 6 … Continue reading

Seeking the Grey Man
9.9 miles 848m ascent 5h 41m It was excellent walking weather; dry, cool, blue sky and occasional clouds. Indeed the sunshine was more than we expected judging by our red faces by the afternoon. We set off along the tourist … Continue reading
