Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged The Nab (Martindale)

Richard Fulcher walked up on April 25th, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked next to St Martins church in Martindale. Walked to Dale End farm & ascended under Heck Crag up to the path above Angle Tarn. Walked on the main path until veering left up to Rest Dodd. I went on to The Nab whilst Jen waited by the wall. We then walked right around Rest Dodd & up to The Knott. From the Knott we crossed over to Rampsgill Head & on up to High Raise. We followed the ridge towards Low Raise before realising our mistake & correcting. We reached Red Crag & started to descend via Gowk Hill eventually reaching our car after 10h 20m of walking!! [with] Jen [weather] Still & breezy at times on the top with a cold wind. Temp on the tops was about 1 celcius. Some sun but lots of cloud. - Good packed lunch with coffee, fruit cake & chocolate biscuits.

Climbed again from Hartsop 22.6.21 On 20.4.22 I decided to add this to a walk as I got to Knott with time to spare. [with] On my own [weather] Hot but hazy - This summit is in a deer protection area & I was lucky enough to see some of the deer that were being protected. A very quiet walk.
