12/05/2023 - The Nab - with Paul D and Andy.

Today's goal was to reach the summit of the Nab, a fell I had last set foot on almost 21 years ago. Paul and Andy needed to get it ticked off following an aborted attempt from Martindale last summer. We started from Hartsop  village  heading, initially,  towards Satura Crag. We then skirted around the western  flank  of Rest Dodd before  dropping down and then  climbing  again towards The Nab's summit. While Paul  and I plodded along Andy found enough energy to to pay his first visits to Brock Crags and Rest Dodd.

Gray Crag always looks impressive from this viewpoint
