Looking back to Arthur's Pike. From Bonscale we made our way sometimes on a path, sometimes not to eventually join up with the High Street (Roman Road) just below Loadpot Hill. As we would be visiting Loadpot on our way back we skirted around it towards Wether Hill.
Looking back both our way to the High Street track
St.Sunday Crag and Fairfield from our way to Wether Hill.
