For those of you that are thinking of going onto the hills I would strongly recommend that you read the advice given by the Mountain Rescue organisation of England and Wales.

Please make the time to read the advice page.

It was so hazy as we drove up the A6 near Milnthorpe that the bulk of Farleton Fell was barely visible. I very nearly diverted to Arnside but decided to give it a chance and thankfully as we approached the Plumgarth roundabout the sun broke through to disperse some of the mist but unfortunately not all.

Please remember to sign the petition to give V.A.T Exemption to the Mountain Rescue Service. There is a link on the Homepage or do it right now by clicking HERE it will open in a new page. It will only take a minute or two.

Reston Scar from where we parked the car.

Walking up School Lane to gain access to the fellside.

Gaining a little height as we look over the school to Craggy Plantation.

This flowering Cherry Tree added a little colour at Sunny Bank.

Another look back at an hazy Potter Fell behind Craggy Plantation.

A first sighting of the Wainwright summit on Hugill Fell.

Kemp Tarn

Edith on Reston Scar summit. It was getting quite warm now and time for the fleeces to be removed.

Looking towards the highest point on Hugill Fell, our next objective....

And to the Wainright summit on Black Crag.

A close up of the cairn on High Knott known as Williamson's Monument with a very hazy Sallows in the distance.

Without close up. The cairn on Hugill Fell.

After a short stroll e arrived at the Wainwright top.

Looking across the valley to Brunt Knott.

Not a lot to be seen looking up the valley

River Kent reflections.

Staveley Park

Looking towards the lower weir and salmon run as we cross the footbridge.
