Hugill Fell and Reston Scar

Walked on 12/11/2004

Hugill Fell (OF) and Reston Scar (OF) from Staveley

Today’s two short walks follow Wainwright’s Hugill Fell and Reston Scar chapters in his book ‘The Outlying Fells of Lakeland’, pages 22 and 24. They both start from different places in Staveley and it was almost like two different days with the Hugill Fell walk done in the rain and the Reston Scar walk done under blue skies and sunshine.
