Is this where the 2 bridleways meet near Sandy Gate and not actually at top mere gate which is nearly 1km to the east?


SD 987 757 - Park Rash
Is this the road crossing at Tor Dike and not anywhere near Park Rash which according to my reckoning is nearer SD978 741

Going to run the two ridges from Kettlewell to Cray then back along the Fellsman route to Great Whernside and back down to Kettlewell tomorrow so wanted to ensure that I had it right as the descriptions seem odd based on the GR

edit: seen this on the fellsman http://www.fellsman.org.uk/doku.php?...oint_locations

So just to check that this is where the actual CP's are
Top Mere that is correct, last year this was the hardest cp for us to find, in our group we had 2 good navigators myself and Robin Price (well know fellsman) and we both said we were there. it was very foggy, raining hard and very dark but no sign of the CP so we shouted. the CP was 5 m away and the guys were asleep in a tent with no light on

Park Rash is as you say by Tor Dike/Road and takes the obvious path up Grt whernside

The way off Buckden Pike isn't as obvious as it is on the map in the dark and in fog. Keep a keen eye and memorise it well.

Have a good run Tony
