Along the ridge
From the foothills of Kinder Scout about Hayfield looking across to Mount Famine and South Head (I believe). Mount Famine is so called because in the days of the Enclosure Act 1750-1850 where commons and moorland were assigned to private landowners they then walled off parts to lease to tenants, but some were not suitable for farming and, despite the farmers' efforts, they often went hungry.
Other place names remember this fact, such as Starvation Hill, Never Gains and Mount Misery in Dartmoor. (Info from: hillexplorer.com/summit/16494-mount-famine)
