Robinson

Walked on 27/09/2006

Start point: Chapel Bridge, Little Town (NY 232 194)

Little Town – High Snab Bank – Robinson (487) – High Snockrigg (488) – Newlands Hause – Knott Rigg (489) – Ill Crag (490) – Ard Crags (491) – Chapel Bridge – Little Town

Distance: 10.5 miles     Total Ascent: 950 metres     Time Taken: 4 hours 30 minutes

Weather: Overcast. 16oC.

I wasn’t holding out much hope for the weather today as it was very grey and looked a certainty for rain – as it was I thought we faired pretty well as the rain held off for the whole round. This is a great way to reach the summit of Robinson and the views were good from there, even the high winds couldn’t spoil that.
