"No other summit of like altitude is reached so quickly and easily from a motor road. Indeed, if a car is used to the top of the pass, a man of conscience must feel he is cheating the mountain." I But one this day of extreme heat it felt like quite hard work. From here a very pleasant walk leads to Robinson along Littledale Edge. There are wonderful views south to the hills round Great Gable and northwest to the hills around Grasmoor. I detoured out on the way back to collect Hindscarth with which I completed the Nuttalls in the NW Fells. I got back to the Slate Mine just in time before the café stopped serving ice cream.
