Yesterday I chauffeured newly elected Labour Councillor Sweeney (formally known as Brendan) to Longlands and parked by the bridge, heading off along Longlands Beck towards Trusmadoor. We had planned to climb Great Cockup (1720ft), Meal Fell (1770ft), Great Sca Fell (2131ft), Knott (2329ft), Little Sca Fell, Brae Fell (1920ft), Lowthwaite Fell, and Longlands Fell (1580ft). So many fells he demanded a recount……..yep, that`s eight!

The perfect fell for newly elected politicians......Great Cockup, is directly ahead.

We head for the gap between Meal Fell and Great Cockup called Trusmadoor.
