100 Peak tops...No 17...Birchin edge.
Next place on my list was Birchin edge, a pleasant 45 minute walk from White edge. This is a much more interesting spot, standing just over the 1000ft mark, my map says 310 metres...it will always be feet for me, cant be doing with metres...a nice rocky edge this one with lots of short climbs and scrambles for the novice climber. on the top most rocks stands the Nelson monument erected in 1810 to the memory of Admiral Lord Nelson and to commemorate the Battle of Trafalger. Nearby a few feet from the edge there are three large boulders carved with the names of three of Nelsons ships Defiance, Royal Soverign and Victory.
