Darren Mortimer bagged Bellbeaver Rigg (Tynehead Fell) on March 30th, 2019 [from/via/route] Garrigill using walk c443 [with] Dermot Palmer [weather] overcast. no rain - What a bloody awful walk this is. Starts out so nice too. Peak bagging & nothing more.
Kevin Foster summited Bellbeaver Rigg (Tynehead Fell) on May 19th, 2018 [from/via/route] Garrigill. [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny. - The first section of the walk, which followed the infant river Tyne as it cascaded over waterfalls & through narrow wooded gorges, was lovely & made this a walk I'll certainly remember. In complete contrast the next section left the South Tyne trail to head up over pathless heather & grass moorland to the top of the fell, which from its other name (Tynehead Fell) must be the source of the river South Tyne although the very dry conditions meant I did not see the source. The top itself has two large cairns, about 200 m apart, the westerly one being slightly higher, I think. The views give a real sense of remoteness, distant fells in every direction across miles of desolate moorland. These northern pennine hills, even on a sunny day, give you a real wilderness feel & appear to be hardly visited at all.
