Ascents of Hard Knott and Whitfell

Accompanied by John Hipwood, Mike Nicholls and Simon on a day of varied weather to include hail, snow, rain and sunshine. We parked at Cockley Beck for Hard Knott, walking up the pass, before using Hardknott Gill to guide us up between Hard Knott and Border End and then heading over to the summit. We parked up at Old Hall Farm above Millbrow for Whitfell, heading up the road to Bigert Mire, and along the bridleway thereafter. We took a direct line off the track onto Whitfell, and returned the same way.
