Binsey has never been a particular favourite of mine due mainly I suppose to the distance involved in me getting there coupled with the fact that I have to pass all the good stuff to get to it! Seeing as I was in the area today it seemed a shame to miss it so it was a quick sprint from the bottom, straight up and down – a real ‘no frills’ route.

The Skiddaw massif across a sea of bracken.
Casper doesn't seem too bothered about Binsey either.
