Hard Knott

Walked on 28/04/2006

Start point: Hardknott Pass summit (NY 230 014)

Hardknott Pass – Border End – Hard Knott – Eskdale Needle –  Hardknott Pass

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 250 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weather: Sunny and warm. 12oC.

It was another day of blue sky and sunshine today and things are certainly starting to warm up and turn green here. It is a short walk from the Hardknott Pass summit – supposedly the steepest road in England – to Border End and Hard Knott for some of the finest views to be had anywhere in the Lake District. Casper certainly seems to be getting into the groove and enjoying roaming the fells.
