Do you think "if someone opens the gate and puts a couple of quid in the honesty box" everyone turns a blind eye?
I have to say, i really dont remember the steep path your talking about April. From memory coming from Ill Bell to Froswick was a steep descent, but dont remember any kind of exposure on either side.
The path leaving north of the third cairn is quite exposed - perhaps you didn't use this path to descend or you may not have any fear of heights? The path is steep and loose with quite a drop to the right as you descend. I had a bit of a panic attack ascending this path last year!
Just done this and it is a belter, thanks for sharing. The 'cairn' on Shipman Knots needs addressing !And yes get there early to park :-0

Ive seen a big monument up there, Thornthwaite Crag or something, perhaps we could transport that across.
We just used the most direct path off the summit, i remember it being a steep up and down to Froswick, but my only feelings at the time were one of awe with the views! I think i know which bit you mean, perhaps i was to preoccupied to even notice.
