The open secret about the Far Eastern fells is this: often the lower hills are the best, with interesting, knobbly tops and fine views. These two tiddlers, overlooking the beautiful environs of Hartsop, make an excellent shorter excursion for a lighthearted half-day, ideal if the higher summits are lost in clag. This is also a cunning choice in a heatwave, offering a splashy beck on the climb, and an inter-summit dunk to cool off.
This is how it starts. At first, AI seems really cute with its Shakespearean sonnet pastiches and cartoon images. Then it decides to destroy humanity by gobbling map hyperlinks.
Ah, apologies, Doghouse, there's been a technical foul-up. The distance is 10.4 km, not 10.4 miles. I'm not sure if I have the interweb superpowers to fix it from here myself so might have to rely on UKH technical wizards to tweak.
I too was wondering about those times and distance! I've done that walk (or very similar) quite a few times and thought it was less than 10 miles. I did swim in Angle Tarn on my first visit in the long hot summer of 1976.
