Nice to see it in sunshine. The spire contains rocks that represent the geology along the route. At the base is limestone, slate in the middle and red sandstone at the top. A useful if simple mnemonic of the route south to north. This is the start of the Cumbria Way 73 miles to Carlisle. We split it into 5 days, it rained for three and a half, splendid waterfalls!!
