22 August 2005 - Setmurthy Common (Watch Hill)
![](../../images/2005/2005-08/2005-08-22-152604_small.jpg)
Watch Hill and beyond it Setmurthy Common are on the left, with the Skiddaw
massif on the right

An interested local looks on as Stephen makes his way up the ridge

The view to the south, with Grasmoor just to the right of centre

Looking ahead along the ridge from Watch Hill to the highest point on Setmurthy
Common. While only 254m/833ft above sea level, its isolation means that it
qualifies as a Marilyn and provides good views: as well as northern Lakeland,
the Isle of Man was in view and Burrow Head in Galloway.
23 August 2005 - Arnside Knott
![](../../images/2005/2005-08/2005-08-23-132421_small.jpg)
After dropping Lucy and Ellie off at Oxenholme station, Stephen and George
travelled to Arnside Knott on a gloomy afternoon which presaged some much-needed
rain

The trig point on the summit of Arnside Knott - recently promoted to become the
180th English Marilyn

A panoramic view across the Kent estuary: a very pleasant little hill.
