[weather] Sunny with very little breeze making it quite hot for walking. - Most people miss out this top taking the shortest route between Selside Pike & Branstree by following the fence. However, by crossing the fence at the col you can make a gentle five minute ascent over grass to the small cairn marking this subsidiary top on Branstree. The obvious path back towards Artlecrag Pike passes two small tarns & the old ordnance survey tower with glimpses of Haweswater reservoir below, a good place to stop & take photos.
