    Hiking

    Legendary fellwalker Alfred Wainwright said he could climb Great Shunner “nonstop despite being senile and getting as fat as a pig”. When hiking here, you'll understand the sentiment. It feels like walking along the backbone of England.

    Hiking

    Great Shunner Fell is a good little workout coming up from Thwaite, about 5.5 kilometres one way, so quite a bit shorter than coming up from Hawes. I wish I could say the views are great, but the cloud was in today on my hike. It was a great day out though, and I met some great people on the hill from all over the world.
