The club negotiated to fly Hedgehope many years ago but access was not very good so it was not flown much.

Duncan Davies owns the site and he is currently clearing this site (woods) for shooting parties so I very much doubt if we would get permission to fly.

Don't worry Ronnie, he won't get very far up. I offered to walk to the top of Blencathra with him last week, he was so shocked he literaly ran away!

not somewhere you would realy look for as a club site but may be a nice place to have a cross county too then take off again

ah but i was the first one to walk up on the saturday, however my run down on sunday with my bag on took me until thursday to walk properly again. never had a ache in my thighs since the days of full blown squatting.

cheers Gary

Ronnie your insect flatulance worries me!
Gary, and probably the rest of the world realised I was having a laugh with him.
Sorry if I've offended you. ps air freshener might help!

Gary, if you're not heading off until 1 ish I'll come for a walk. I've promised to do something in the morning though.

It a canny walk to even get to the base of the hill. I walked up a couple of years ago parking the car at the locked gate at 3 Stone Burn I think it's called. Then onto the forest track for ages before you get to the bottom of the hill. The terrain is very uneven and boggy you better arrange the chopper now for mad dog. I got in touch with the forestry and had a letter back to say that they were about to start harvesting and there was no chance of access. It's a great hill but not worth the walk unless you could chop the chain off and drive right up to the hill

I knew it wouldn't take much to talk you out of a walk.
