    Round Hill is a mile or so away. Simon's Seat nearer three but suspect you were looking at Great Whernside Peejay runs a splendid race up it every year

    Not exactly north of Beamsley Beacon but its probably Great Whernside. GW and Buckden Pike can be seen from miles in all directions have have been complete blocks of solid white on the horizon for weeks now

    Looking at a map Round Hill is more or less East of the Beacon, and Great Whernside North of Skipton

    For interest. Here's a profile/map segment covering the line from BB to GW - there *appears* to be part of Barden Fell in the way of the line of sight?
