Kevin Foster walked up Honister Crag (Black Star) on May 14th, 2021 [from/via/route] Honister Pass (slate mine). [with] By myself. [weather] Low clouds down on tops gradually lifting. - An easy & interesting walk along the crest above Honister Pass led me to the final top of the day, the interestingly named Black Star. The cairn is on a small rocky knoll & the best views are down as the drop is near vertical.
