Great views over Troutsdale with Langdale Forest in the distance to the north. If you follow the Wykeham Forest Trail to the west of the viewpoint, then stick to the tracks as marked on Ordnance Survey maps, don't follow the routes marked as footpaths, as they are horrendously overgrown with brambles like triffids. Another lesson learned :).

Hiking

This was a lovely walk, however we went on a soggy day which made some of the terrain very difficult to navigate!!

Due to recent storms, trees had fallen making the down hill in the first 1/2k very difficult, having to climb over and around trees on uneven terrain.

After overcoming the obstacles, we really enjoyed this walk!!
