SAFETY NOTE:  

  1. Barf is a known Mountain Rescue black spot, every year people get in trouble by ascending Barf the "difficult" way via Slape Crag. This is not the recommended route for the FGR and a much better route is via the path alongside Beckstones Gill before turning NE for the summit. Please recce to make sure you know the correct line.

  2. The route to and from Ullister Hill is tricky and not obvious. Also, the trails around Whinlatter have changed over the years and OS maps may not accurately reflect ground truth. A good recce is highly recommended.

 WETSUIT WASHING POINT: Beckstones Gill at the foot of Barf or the outside tap at the Whinlatter Centre
