6.98 miles
Another wild camp and another new tent.
From the village of Buckden (see also Birks Fell wild camp) we set off, rather late in the day I must add, to summit Buckden Pike at 702m above sea-level.
It was a very enjoyable hike, until the last few hundred metres when the terrain suddenly became pretty much vertical! Once we topped out though the views were incredible even at that time of the day. The trig point was bagged and we set off to find the war memorial erected in memory of the five airmen who lost their lives when they crashed into the hill in 1942.
The new tent was a success despite being a tad on the heavy side, not that it matters to me of course.
