‘The fell with the biggest column in the world!’.
That’ll be Latterbarrow then!
Not much in the way of views today though unfortunately – at least it was a bit cooler today – shame about the clouds.
Heading up the track from Colthouse, Connie shouts Casper (at the gate) and Angus (disappeared!).

First one to touch the column!
