Things of Interest: Great Shunner Fell, Thwaite

Personal Comments: Last day today walking with our two walking mates from Ossy - Frank Mitchell and Mick Wolstenholme. They've been with us for the last 4 days but must now go home.
We left Hawes at 8.30am and walked into Hardraw (famous for the Hawdraw Force water falls).
There has been little rain in the last few weeks so we by-passed this site and headed to the start of the accent to the top of Great Shunner Fell. This is a 2,200ft. + mountain which stood in the way of us and our destination of Keld.
We climbed to the top in just under 1 hour 40 minutes and admired 360 degree panoramic views of spectacular Pennine peaks including what is to be our last view of Pendle which could be seen in the far distant south.
We dropped down to the pretty hamlet of Thwaite (not a brewery in site!!) and finally reached our destination of Keld where the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast paths cross.
Enough walking for today - we're off now to find a pub with a large TV screen to watch the Euro Championship final - it has to be done!
