Broom fell. by A tramp in the hills The top is grassy, and the summit is marked by the end of a wall coming up from Aiken Beck to the south west. Since this wall connects to no others, and simply stops at the highest point, its purpose is unknown. A summit cairn of approximately 2m in height now exists on the summit as does a small wind shelter made from part of the wall. https://flic.kr/p/2mGxSp5

Went for a walk on the Fells of the Kentmere round today, a wild and misty walk to say the least. What did stand out for me was the "true cost" of tourism to the fells. We dont see any of these pics in promotional materials extolling the beauty of the lakes. Also very obvious MTB use was showing up, I don't know the rules, but this did not seem the best way to use this meager covering of high fell peat on the tops of fells, wonder what Wainright would br thinking of it all. @cumbria.guru @ilovethelakedistrict #traildamage #wainwright #wainwrightfells #tourismcost #mtb #respect #responsibility (at Kentmere) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvNIfLEA4i_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j7s0gkf8os1n
