A little 3.5km stroll with Pete Taylor.Route: leaving the car in the church parking at St John’s in the Vale and heading west along the road 200m to turn left gently uphill and then, after 20m, bend right to track round the fell, turning more steeply left uphill in a gorge once west of the memorial stone marked on the OS map. Continuing along an undulating path south to reach the 343m subsidiary summit. Turning back along obvious paths to reach the main summit, descending back to the start on a clear zig-zag path.
Conditions: initial sun though a cold breeze on the summit plateau.
Pub: an empty Ravenstone Manor Hotel for Corby Blonde, Birra Moretti and a delicious sandwich lunch.
