Kevin Foster hiked Sale How (Skiddaw) on March 30th, 2021 [from/via/route] Skiddaw. [with] By myself. [weather] Sunny to start then ascending into cloud. Cloud inversion on the top of Skiddaw which was cloud free. - The last top of the day was Sale How which was easily taken via a long grassy descent from the col between Skiddaw & Little Man. There still remained a considerably long walk back to the parked car at Latrigg first via Skiddaw House & then along the superb terrace path below the imposing crags of Lonscale Fell which was by now in full sunlight. How annoying!
