Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Redgleam (Harwood Common)
Mark Davidson walked up Redgleam (Harwood Common) on August 8th, 2008 [from/via/route] Walk du152 Great Stony Hill & Dead Stones from Burnhope Reservoir [with] Alone [weather] High white cloud - bit cool for August
Kevin Foster climbed Redgleam (Harwood Common) on September 4th, 2018 [from/via/route] du132 from Langdon Beck. [with] Henry. [weather] Cloudy but with plenty of sunny breaks. - Great Stony Hill had the feel of a proper mountain top with great views all round. The track skirting Viewing Hill was very easy walking after what had gone before. The only problem was having to leave it to make a pathless ascent & descent off Viewing Hill itself. Be warned on reaching Cow Green visitor car park the walk is far from over as there is another 4 km of road walking to go to return you back to the starting point at Langdon Beck. Overall a very enjoyable walk though.
