You can do a route from Garrigill or, if you've more time, from Burnhope Reservoir, descending East from Dead Stones. Boggy stuff - but a good walk, in my umble opinion anyway...Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-88772895088107466932009-12-06T19:21:08.414+00:002009-12-06T19:21:08.414+00:00All I can say , Steven and James, is note the evil...All I can say , Steven and James, is note the evil curse...<br />Don't try this walk barefoot till at least mid April, Steven, other than that, this countryside is, in fact, much easier without the boots on - none of this nonsense about trying to keep the socks dry...its all soft and sloppy... (lovely!)<br />Rachel - I think this little walk will be on the 22nd, in the morning. I don't think we'll be spending the night up there - in which case, I'll be home by ten.<br />So put the kettle on and have the bacon ready....Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-42769397907727183382009-12-06T18:50:58.825+00:002009-12-06T18:50:58.825+00:00Cheers Mike last night was nice and toasty at Dead...Cheers Mike last night was nice and toasty at Dead stones, walking along in the dark and tripped over a bag of logs, twas like Christmas had come early.....................James Boulterhttp://backpackingbongos.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-16100484225641705492009-12-06T16:57:20.122+00:002009-12-06T16:57:20.122+00:00I'm visiting for Yule :)I'm visiting for Yule :)icklebigsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355841535773623424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-76138515778895839592009-12-06T15:08:08.501+00:002009-12-06T15:08:08.501+00:00I was up by Killhope Cross on Friday afternoon in ...I was up by Killhope Cross on Friday afternoon in the car. Was going to park in the layby but there was already a car and people around it (car on my bumper too), so carried on to Nenthead.<br /><br />After seeing the snow over near Cross Fell had hoped to walk it yesterday, woke up early saw the rain and pea soup fog and decided to return to bed instead. <br /><br />I keep intending to walk along to Dead Stones and Burnhope Seat, if I do before New years I promise not to steal your wood. Always imagined it would be very boggy. Think I can remember reading that you'd walked along the tops in the dark and unless I imagined it, you took off you socks and shoes :-)<br /><br />Nearly forgot I cocked up the comments on my site, but have copied over yours on my TGO route.<br /><br />Thanks<br />StevenSteven Hornerhttp://www.stevenhorner.com/noreply@blogger.com
