Pooley Bridge? i am thinking on the up near the cop stone. google earth shows a good place to park. anyone got any advice? swarth fell looks a pain to find from what i have read about it. i have an os map somewhere, not using any gadgets though. Hi Bobpc, I went there for the first time last June with some of the TMA crew. Although I didn't have a clue where we were going, I believe we parked on the track leading Westward out of Helton. The track is sold (it may have been mettled) and there was a reasonable good 'off-track' parking area Just to the south-east of The Cop stone. From here you can you can take in the many cairns on Moor Divock on the way to the Cockpit stone circle. :o) Scubi Hi Bob, Park up by the Cop Stone as Scubi advises. There's lots to see on Moor Divock so that should keep you busy for a couple of hours. If you go via the A6 it's worth checking out the Long Cairn at Low Moor, it's right beside the Lowther turn-off. If you're intending walking into the fells, even relatively low ones, I'd advise you take your map, a compass and dress prepared for weather. cheers fitz Reply | with quote |  30th November 2009ce 12:43 In reply to: Re: a day out (scubi63) |
