Back O Skiddaw


Bad weather put paid to a camping trip. Not all was lost though, a bit of last minute hunting found us a cottage near Bassenthwaite or The Back o Skiddaw.

Skiddaw is not the sexiest of the Cumbrian fells. Its edge is not 'Sharp' or need 'Striding' but its a big lump at 931m and the route up via Ullock Pike was fun. Running back down the same way even more so.

      We did get a few nice days.

      The UK is now having a heatwave and we have managed a couple of weekends camping.
