Great Dunn Fell, with the radar station, seen from Little Dunn Fell. The path skirts around the station's East side. A friendly staff person whom I saw near the entrance was happy to let me walk to the highest point (not built on).   © David S Brown

Well-kept Greg's Hut (bothy), on the N side of Cross Fell, where the old miners track from Garrigill terminates. Looks a lovely place to spend a night!   © David S Brown
