![]() Walk 131 had left me with some unfinished business back o’ Skiddaw so it was time to see to Knott. On a nice Sunday like today without a very early start I didn’t fancy my chances with the limited parking at Orthwaite so I drove to Fell Side instead. From here I headed up Brae Fell. Fording Dale Beck was a little tricky in very dry conditions and I’m guessing might be very tricky after a bit of rain. It was a longish trudge to the top of Brae Fell but then very easy going over Little Sca Fell, Great Sca (like Brae Fell, Wainwrights but not Nuttalls) Fell, Knott. ![]() Around this time the weather started to turn though it never set in to rain. From Knott Skiddaw was shrouded in cloud and, by the time I got to High Pike, so was Knott itself. From Knott to High Pike is something of a trudge over rough, mostly pathless terrain. I didn’t bother about Great Lingy Hill or Hare Stones, very undistinguished Nuttalls (but not Wainwrights) I had grabbed on an earlier visit (86). Instead I trudged vaguely west until I caught sight of Lingy Hut where I knew I would find a good track taking me up High Pike. Which I did and easily and pleasantly down the other side to where I had begun.
