Hutton Roof Crags 2013

 

Route finding from Arnside Knott G/LD-058 to Hutton Roof Crags G/LD-052 was taxing. I was keen to progress quickly to my third summit of Wednesday 7th August 2013, but the lack of my principal navigator M0HGY, lack of SatNav, lack of OS map and lack of memory of these roads began to tell. All in all it took me far too long to locate the car park at Plain Quarry, and some road closures and diversions didn't help either.

Once kitted up and walking, it was a most enjoyable stroll up to the summit in still lovely weather. It was another easy qualification using 12m CW and SSB, and an equally easy polishing off of one litre of Lobster Bisque for my lunch - delicious!  Now it was back to the M6 and down to J31A for Longridge Fell G/SP-014, a bonus summit to the three I had planned and alerted.
