It was good because I learned a lot about the nature of the fells in the Lake District. Retrospectively, I wish I'd gone on and bagged Red Pike as well, but that's still there for the future.

@@WyeExplorer Thanks, Mark. The only time I've ever been there, and the only time likely to. Closer than Dartmoor, yet takes much longer to get to!

@@paulperambulates A pleasure Paul. That's interesting. Have you heard of the two moors way in between the both? It's on my to do list. Have a great weekend.

We didn't get permission, and I must admit to having messed up in two respects: 1) We should have gone the other side of the wall, i.e about 20 metres from where we camped. I was aware that this was the boundary of the permissive camping area that could be used between the two court rulings, but assumed following the second one that this restriction was no longer in place. 2) Our party size should have been no more than six. My understanding of party sizes originates with the Ten Tors training I supervise, where the maximum party size is fourteen. I assumed that would be the general rule, but have checked, and for all other parties it should be six. Thank you for making me think about that, and I apologise to the landowner concerned. I can assure them that all other rules were adhered to, and that the only evidence of our ever having been there is the publication of this video on KZbin.

Thanks, Gill. That's a lovely summary.

@@thevalleywalker Thanks Alan. I've also done it a few times, alone or with one or both of my kids. A bit of a family favourite :-)

Thanks, Mark. I do tend to tilt the odds in my favour by making the plan, then waiting for the weather. Nothing worse than a beautiful landscape you can't see!

@@paulperambulates A pleasure Paul. Hey, I'm the same. I was thinking of a hill camp in the Cambrians but it's going to turn on Thursday and I want to take film, photograph and enjoy. Makes sense!

Thanks, Mark. I took the trip up there based on a good weather forecast, but it didn't turn out quite as nice as I'd hoped. At least it didn't rain!

@@paulperambulates A pleasure Paul. Well, they get it wrong often - I thought it looked OK.

Thanks, Mark. I really got lucky with the weather. Never known it so benign that high up. All the best.

@@paulperambulates Yeah Paul, you'll take that eh? I heard you say that on top.

Thanks, Othmar.

Thanks, Mark. I'm going back there in a couple of weeks with, believe it or not, a group of scouts' mums. Lots of them have seen what their kids have done and idly said to me, over the years, that they'd like to do some walking. Now they've got together and browbeaten me into taking them, and teaching them navigation. I won't be filming that, though.

@@paulperambulates A pleasure Paul. Hey, all the best with the mums. It's bound to be fun and worthwhile. Take care.

Thanks very much, Mark. I've subscribed to your channel, and will catch up with your adventures, too.

Thanks, Andrew. I've often walked up through those cuttings and wondered what they were for. The building was a real puzzle. It's deep enough underground to be an iron age excavation, but the brickwork is considerably more recent. That explanation makes total sense. Now I will be able to look very clever when I take the scouts up there in a couple of weeks time! I'm guessing the demand for ice in Plymouth was mainly to keep newly-caught fish fresh?

The scouts were duly impressed when we were up there on Sunday!

Many thanks, much appreciated 🙂
