Whit Fell, Wainwright outliers.
Would you tramp across the fells to locate this pile of stones …..
We, Sir Hugh and I, were on a mission to complete Wainwright’s chapter 35 in the Outlying Fells book – Buck Barrow, Whit Fell, Burn Moor and Kinmont Buckbarrow. These stones are on Burn Moor, there is nothing else here. Sir Hugh is concerned he is becoming obsessive about list ticking – thank heavens I’m not! 
The day is sunny and fairly clear for our little circuit of these tops, from the highest, Whit Fell, I was sure we could see Scotland, the IOM, Ireland and Wales. Sellafield Nuclear Fuel centre was prominent on the coast below.T here was the usual debate as to which high tops we could identify. We happily wandered from one pile of stones to another, navigation not being a problem in the clear conditions. In the meantime, we sorted out the forthcoming EU referendum and criticised today’s budget. Generally, the going was good but there were boggy areas where fancy footwork was needed.
A good post. Nobody would believe I didn’t get my feet wet just wearing trail shoes, but generally the ground was pretty dry.
I was hoping you would totally immerge at that point, but no doubt your shoes would have emerged dry and spotless.
I was ready to capture the scene if you had plunged in.
