I wonder how many of these people are going up after social media posts. I have seen some really idiotic posts on YouTube with people pulling stunts for clicks. This guy didn't even peg his tent out properly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4tu...

A warning to anyone heading up #KinderScout via Ollerbrook. The stile at SK1314887130 is badly in need of repair . Someone had laid it flat & when I stood on it , it tipped up hitting me in the arm and shoulder. Not secure & rotten @peakdistrict.bsky.social

If you look above your boot over to Place Fell you can make out the diagonal, little used route up the fell. It really is a super quiet route, no difficulties, comes out somewhere near 'The Knight' then onto the summit. I've encountered badgers on that route. Regards, Bill's quality routes service☺️
