Hiking

The cairn on Glade How is really handsome! A pyramid that can be seen through the mist on a poor weather day that lets the hill walker know they're on the right path between Seatallan and Buckbarrow in the Western Lake District. Glade How itself is a Birkett.

Fair play one of the best cairns I have seen for any summit let alone a minor subsidiary little tump. Stands out from the crowd a little bit....
