Looking North from Brennand Great Hill Looking over a stark landscape of naked peat, bog and tundra moor.
There are a huge number of seagulls of varied assortments that congregate around this location, known as "The Gullery". Apparently over 50,000 arrive around springtime to breed, making a mess that is all too obvious.
They are protected, I believe, although they discourage more native birds like curlew and lapwing from thriving through theft of eggs and chicks.
If you are thinking of stopping to have a sandwich between Brennand Great Hill and Wolfhole Crag - perhaps think again.
