22nd February 2009 - Randygill Top and Green Bell

Walk Details

Distance walked: 7.7 miles

Total ascent: 1796 ft

OS map used: OL19 - Howgill Fells & Upper Eden Valley

Time taken: 4.5 hrs

Route description: Brow Foot-Potts-Hooksey-Leathgill Bridge-Randygill Top-Stockless-Green Bell-Stwarth-Weasdale-Scar Sikes-Potts-Brow Foot

A walk in the northeastern Howgills taking in the summits of Randygill Top and Green Bell.

I started this walk from the minor road just off the A685 at Brow Foot. I followed the road to its end and then along a tractor track that heads up the ridge of Hooksey. From Hooksey I crossed Leathgill Bridge and up to the summit of Randygill Top. I then walked across to the summit of Green Bell before descending to the hamlet of Weasdale. I made my way back to the start by a path through Weasdale Nursery.
