 ==== Old Man of Coniston ====
-An 8 pointer, G/LD-013, sits on it's own as a walk from Coniston. Park at Walna Scar, and walk up in around 1:05. Can do a bit of a round trip at 1:43 plus activation time.

 ==== Cross Fell ====
 On the otherside of Penrith (G/NP-001), this 8 pointer is perhaps one to do on the way to the Lakes. Supposedly a quick hike if you can park by the radar entrance on top of the hill. The radar is on Great Dun Fell, and you can park by the gate. About 50 mins-1 hour walk each way plus activation. e.g. Arrive by 3pm and leave by 5:30pm. Into Keswick by 6:30pm.

+Not quite the 120...Need to fit in another 8 pointer...like Old Man or Grasmoor. Only real way would be High Street three, then Old Man of Coniston on Tuesday and then Wednesday morning do Skiddaw and Blencathra. Could do the walk through, them drive back to Scales, have lunch at the White Horse Inn and then go home. Probably need to leave the house at 0630, to be at White Horse for around 1pm.
