We can't help oursleves! Many walkers are summit baggers. religiously walking all the Wainwrights/Munros/Birketts or some other list which has been put together by someone at some time. That has never been our thing. We prefer to walk where the mood takes us. Often making it up as we go and nearly always chosing our routes to avoid other people as much as possible. As the years go by this last point gets harder and harder and if you want to guarantee that you will bump into someone else, I highly heading for a summit.
We seem to be turning into Gill Baggers. Or at least, we seem to be drawn to walks which involve walking up or down Gills. It doesn't matter to us if we have been before, there is always something new to see

 |
| Looking back |
 |
| The distant views are very hazy today - but that is the western fells in the background as we gain height towards the col between Sail and Causey Pike |
 |
| We saw no-one up Rigg Beck, but as we started to get on to more well trodden paths we could see a few folk around. We hadn't decided where we would go until this point, but as most people seemed to be heading up onto the tops, we decided not to! So after lunch at Long Comb |
 |
| We followed the path down to by Stoneycroft Gill |

| Before joining the (closed) road past Rowling End Farm, back to the car |
