However, his drawing on the same page makes the position of his summit unclear, so I continued up the rocky ridge, visiting each knoll, until the ridge expired in grassland. I continued up over High Rigg onto the Fairfield plateau, visiting the highest point. A steeper decent south-east over more rugged terrain brought me to the col below Hart Crag. Some fifty metres up on an eroded path, and I was on the north summit of this fell. A recent high accuracy survey was unable to differentiate between the northern and southern cairns of the fell at 823.1m, so I ensured I visited both. I then retraced my route back over Fairfield and Hart Crag, continuing along the Rydal ridge to scale to the summits of Rydal Fell and Heron Pike. A steep pathless descent followed to Alcock Tarn, and..." — marktrengove2 • Aug 2, 2019
