Just a short, late afternoon onto Corney fell today, climbing three rocky turrets which are really quite exposed due to their position of proximity to the west coast of Cumbria – the wind fairly howls off the sea here! The sun came out at odd intervals with some nice illumination on the sea and all in all, this was a pleasant – and easy going – walk.
Kirk Fell picks up the sun 12 miles to the north-east with the silhouette of Scafell to the right beyond Whitfell.
