Robinson and Hindscarth

Robinson and Hindscarth

Date

25/5/2003

ROBINSON - contributes little to the scenic value of the Buttermere picture, and one must see it from Newlands to appreciate its distinctive skyline

HINDSCARTH - there is a good all round panorama, especially pleasing over Newlands to the Vale of Keswick and Skiddaw - the big north cairn is a better place for photographsin this direction - with in contrast a rugged skyline forming the southern horizon
