Walking in The Pennines

If you want to avoid the Bank Holiday crowds, then YC recommends venturing into the Pennines. YC ticked off some 2,000 footers on Friday and Saturday, and didn't see a soul on either walk.
The summit of Grey Nag (near Alston) - Cumbria to the left, Northumberland on the right of the wall.
Burnhope Seat - the old county top of Durham - which overlooks Weardale
Three Pikes (between Weardale and Teesdale) - an oddly named hill. There are no pikes and there is just one hill. But there are lots of peat bogs. YC suspects that only dedicated peak-baggers made the trip to this hill.
