Hobcarton End - The last North Western

Back in 2010 when I discovered 'hill bagging' I came across the  Hewitts, Nuttals & the Birketts previously unheard of! I'd already completed the Wainwrights and ticked off a few in hills in Scotland & Wales but had kept no record. I originally started arm chair bagging my way througth the various lists, but soon decided it would be better to begin again at the start with blank lists. Currently in Cumbria I'm ticking off the Birketts & Wainwright Outlyers but throughout the Lakes I have the odd straggler. Today's target was one of those pesky ones - the last in the NW area.

I started slightly further away from the usualy car park - for two reasons get my legs warmed up for the steep climb & to avoid the Forestry Comission car park charges...
