Getting there

From the parking spot head through a gate, across fields; you quickly reach the open hill side where a short but very steep ascent takes you up to a broad shoulder running from Skiddaw to the summit. You should easily pass through a band of cliffs before reaching the plateau

Bit cross and gusty this afternoon, worth waiting for it to back off after 3.

Bottom field's clear, gate code's the usual. Cows in the top field, land short.
