I came here a few months ago, well before the latest lockdown began but didn't really do any exploring as the weather was appalling, plus I didn't have enough change to pay for the parking. Today the sun was out, I had a bag full of change and was ready to explore an area which was new to me. I have spent hundreds of hours over the years exploring the paths and hills of Borrowdale, but amazingly I had never been on Kings How.
Every step I took was sheer delight and it ended up as one of those days when you keep saying to yourself, "I'll just go a little further and see what's up over that next rise". As it was, I didn't have the time to do everything I wanted so curtailed my exploration at a gate in the drystone wall where the path dips down into some sort of valley and then rises up to Kings How.
The next time I come, I will get here early and bring drinks and a bite to eat and make it into a days walk. Maybe I will get up Kings How...who knows?
