How A Poptop Roof Can Help You Explore The Outlying Fells

Many people who love getting out into the countryside will set themselves a quest to complete a tick-list. It may be the Munros in Scotland, the Wainwrights in the Lake District or even the historic county tops, if you want to visit Huntingdonshire’s Boring Field.

However, some challenges will often leave you wondering where you can stay due to the remoteness of some of the summits or trigs that you need to trig off.

This is where a pop top installation can help, especially because we can use it on vehicles that can go to places others can’t, like a Land Rover Defender. This way, you can stop somewhere remote and sleep well instead of having to travel miles to a hotel or B&B.

A prime example of this could be Wainwright’s outliers. Not content with his 214 Lake District fells in the famous pictorial guides, he later added more, mostly of lower altitude, some not even in the national park.

How Remote Are The Outlying Fells?

Some of these are easy to reach, such as Orrest Head, a short walk from Windermere Railway Station, but many are in very remote spots seldom visited even by those who frequently come to the Lakes.

Among the most remote are the many outliers on the eastern outskirts of the national park near the A6 between Kendal and Shap, such as White Howe, High House Bank and Long Crag. On the west side are remote summits such as Black Combe and White Combe.

Having a poptop may also be handy for visiting some of the more remote Wainwrights, many of which are close to some of the outliers, such as those in Kentmere and Longsleddale.

The great thing about a Poptop is that this will be just one of the ways you can make the most of being able to visit ever more remote spots. Indeed, with your accommodation right above your steering wheel, you can start planning all sorts of trips to wild places.
