Off the road, up the farm track, then in a big circle to avoid fields of slavering cows. On the way back, the cows had moved, anticipating my route, pawing at the ground as they waited for me. I hate cows! Pillar fine, good views to coast

Nothing inspiring, boggy walk in down the farm track (on the day).

Only the North sight open and very good condition overall. Two flocks of curious rams and a rather large drystane dyke tried to stop me... really good western view.

Middle Crag ...nosey sheep and large dyke.

Corner of field, plug intact. Trig in good condition but footpaths very wet and churned-up by cattle. View of wind farm out in Morecambe Bay. I wondered if the bull in the next field had been put there for the benefit of the engineers working on the electricity pylons 8-)

We took the track past Middle Crag farm and then headed up to the trig which is visible from the path. Plug with indented lettering.
