Third Poynton Plod – High Raise

The third Poynton Plod went pretty much on course and schedule. 6 hrs on the hill again, 7 miles covered, 5 +700m peaks bagged, including High Raise and Pike ‘Stickle.

There was a little bit of scrambling involved, we covered some nice ground away from the regular Langdale tourist paths and we went from bright and sunny to thick hill mist blowing across the summits and reducing temperature and visibility to a few degrees and a couple of hundred meters.

Then, after a long, long descent down Mark Gate, a welcome pint in the New Dungeon Ghyll.

Next stop, Snowdonia
