Tom had seen reports of Cloudberry being in Cumbria's Northern Fells, so on a rather warm day we set off on what potentially could have been a wild goose chase. But armed with a ten figure grid reference we were soon able to locate quite a decent patch - something to keep an eye out for on future walks. Time was limited, so it was a strenuous walk up beside Grainsgill Beck and out onto the Cumbrian Way, just below Lingy Hut. Then a meander over Coomb Height to the site, before a steep decent down the nose of Coombe Height, with plenty of rather tall bracken!
