    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.

      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.

        Great Shunner Fell is the third highest summit in the Yorkshire Dales at 716m with great views of the North Pennines, the Lake District and many other Yorkshire Dales fells including the Three Peaks.
