Completing the English Marilyns

30th October 2018 by James Stone Leave a Comment

Stiperstones

After my Antipodean adventures, it was time to settle back into UK hillwalking.  One of my longer term objectives is to climb 600 Marilyns.  There are 1557 Marilyns in Great Britain.  Of that number 175 are in England.  So completing the English Marilyns seemed to be a reasonable Continue Reading

Carrock Fell, High Pike, Knott and Great Calva

20th April 2016 by James Stone Leave a Comment

This was a walk in a (relatively) little frequented part of the Lakes. Once up on them, the heights are broad and views expansive and the climbs are gentle. The initial climb up to Carrock Fell was brutal though, the slope not only steep but also covered in deep clinging heather. I had Continue Reading
