A very short walk salvaged from an idle weekend. I drove up the Long Band road towards Reeth from Askrigg, parking by the cattle grid right at the top. From here it's about a kilometer along a fency to the stone built trig point on what the OS Landranger map calls Conny Tammy Currock. The Explorer map doesn't clearly call it anything though the name Tarn Seat marks the ridge to the north. The name The Fleak also appears nearby which is the name Ian Harris's Trigpointing site applies to the trig point. It's quite a rough kilometer with some nasty groughs to negotiate at one point but it gets easier. And it's pertrty easy going to comtimue to the beacon by the same fency boave Summer Lodge Tarn, a lovely wild spot. Walking a little north from here I came to a Land Rover track which I followed easily back to regain the road a little north of where I was parked. A pleasant easy stroll on a gloriouos June day.
