Andrew Flynn walked up on August 8th, 2020 [from/via/route] c459 The Greater Newlands Horseshoe from Hawes End [with] Nicola [weather] Very very sunny - Ran out of water with approx 7 miles to go. A lot of lessons learnt that day.
Kevin Foster climbed on March 16th, 2020 [from/via/route] High Spy. [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny with broken cloud. Cold northerly wind. - About half way along the easy grassy ridge of Maiden Moor a rocky knoll stands with a small cairn to the right of the main path. This marks the North top of High Spy where the ground drops away steeply northwards. The wind, which was still bitterly cold and had been howling all day was almost strong enough to blow me off my feet so I didn't linger long up here!
