The Bishop and the Barf.

The view from the Barf, on the western side of Bassenthwaite. The Bishop (see extra) is a whitewashed pillar of rock on the lower slopes. According to local legend, the Bishop of Derry fell from his horse here in 1783, after drunkenly betting that he could ride up the hill. According to Wikipedia the whitewashing is carried out by members of the Keswick Mountain Rescue.
I somehow missed the footpath and went up rather a steep way. Now I read that Wainwright says the direct assault is 'Not a walk. A very stiff scramble, suitable only for people overflowing with animal strength and vigour.' Oops!
