Blake Fell - Birket bashing

Around Blake Fell I had four remaining Birkett tops, Kelton Fell & Godworth are pretty easy bags from the road. The awkward two being High Hows & Owsen Fell, which would also be an easy bag from Lamplugh Church if it was not on private land. These two are a trespass, a quick look at  the www.hill-bagging.co.uk entry for High Hows with words like trespass, walkers keep out, objectionable, foul-mouthed, aggressive & expletives; should be warning enough. This was the first walk of September & other than the sneaking an enjoyable walk on familar ground..

a break in the cloud & a glimpse of Cogra Moss...

it was only temporally, the summit of Burnbank Fell...

descending to Owsen Fell (no access from Lamplugh)...

Owsen Fell, just below the cloud but not the rain...

rain splattered lens & Burnbank Fell, an annoying contour around to Sharp Knott avoiding private land...
