Date                   27/4/2002  
 

ULLOCK PIKE - the neat domed summit, upholstered in heather, and crossed by a narrow trackis just the sort of place to make one wish it could be parcelled up and taken home for the back garden

LONGSIDE EDGE - one of the choicest of summits

SKIDDAW - a giant in stature, but an affable and friendly giant
