Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

No jets so far today, um. Apart from a few bleating baa-lambs and some harsh winds higher up, I heard nothing but the contents of my Spotify playlist.

Love Loughrigg. Out via Coffin route from Ambleside and back that way.

Great photos VP.

Nice pics. The biggest headache with Loughrigg is working out which of the many bumps is the actual summit :)

Go with the trig point. Ordnance survey guys/gals choose the highest point, don't they? ;-)

By all means bag the trig but then go find the best views (assuming you’re not BGing, in which case get moving on)

Sorry, I don't think I agree with the trig point thing - if you consult the DoBH, you'll find that quite often the highest surveyed point of a given hill is not in fact the trig point. Take Helvellyn as an example - the cairn at the end of the summit plateau (ie. the end of Striding Edge) is the summit. I can think of loads more examples, only last week I was on Ben More and the trig point is some distance away from the summit cairn.

This gets even more difficult with Wainwright-bagging, as very often the WW summit and actual summit are wildly disparate.

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
