Kevin Foster scaled Simon Fell on August 22nd, 2017 [from/via/route] Ingleborough [with] Peter and Henry [weather] Must clearing summit by midday - Although Simon Fell was to be my final 'Nuttall' in the Southern Dales section of The Yorkshire Dales & a cause for celebration, after the wonders of it's big brother Ingleborough it was something of a disappointment. The barbed wire & wall traversing the summit didn't allow further exploration South so it was another out & back to another slightly rounded top with a tiny insignificant cairn. The one redeeming feature was the excellent view back to the impressive bulk of Ingleborough towards the West.

Paced broken stick marker to wall - 175 m. Yep, that must be it! Would have liked to return via Ribblehead rather than back track, but news of friend in hospital so prompt return calls. Enjoyable last day in Yorkshire
