    Hiking

    A humongous, rugged mass of rock and crags and cliffs, Great Gable is captivating to look at: an unbroken, devilish pyramid from the south; the dome of a sleeping, curled-up giant from the north. It is a spiritual place too, its summit adorned with a poignant war memorial.

    A top iconic Wainwright but worked quite hard to get here from Seathwaite Farm as I was doing a route from Stuart Marshall's book taking in Grey Knotts, Brandreth, Great Gable, Green Gable and Base Brown. Superb outing! Great views to be had all round all along the route.
