Title

Greg's Hut Cross Fell - PEN00145

Description

L to R: Peter Stott, aged 16, and, in the green jacket, John Thornton, aged 21. Monday 2nd September 1963, and the trio had just lunched on the misty summit of Cross Fell, so were probably running to warm up and to get out of the cold wind.

Cross Fell is the highest mountain in the Pennine Hills of Northern England and the highest point in England outside the Lake District. It is located in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies within the county of Cumbria and the historic county boundaries of Cumberland. Gregs Hut is a mountain shelter on the northern slope of Cross Fell.

This photograph is undated but Richard Genner has commented that judging by the style of the rucksack worn by the two walkers, it is in the early days of the Pennine Way.
