One of my regular training runs is over Reston Scar. One of the minor 'tops' is called Black Crag. You will have passed it on the Reston Scar Scamper, probably without even noticing. There used to be a really nice cairn there but on a recent run I noticed it had gone. Most of the stones had been thrown down the fellside. I assumed it was young lads 'having fun'. Anyway I felt it appropriate to reinstate the cairn.
So I went for a run finishing over Reston Scar and resurrected the cairn. Spending nearly an hour doing so. My efforts seem very modest compared to the original but the the size in keeping with size of the summit I think.
Hopefully it will stay there for some time and may even be improved upon by others.
The views from the top are some of the best in the Lakes. But don't tell anyone.
