Knock & Great Dun Fell - A day early

Another escape from the lakes & a trip into the Northern Pennines to Knock Fell & Great Dun Fell. Unfortunately the cloud base dropped once we had set off so no summit views :( and I was a day
early because Monday & Tuesday finally brought sunshine. Had a poke around some of the old mine workings & hoped to find the Gloster Meteor crash site between Knock Fell and the 761 spot height but visibility was too poor.

with Dufton Pike rounded, the view up Great Rundale...

High Cup Nick & Murton Fell - A break from the Lakes

A break from the Lakes and a walk I've been intending for a while, a visit to High Cup Nick with a quick nip up Murton Fell. We had originally intended descending back to the road via Murton Pike but decided to return for another look at High Cup Nick coming back by Harbour Flatt - before returning to Dufton

The Pennine way leaves Town Head...
