The Bishop of Barf at Bassenthwaite Lake.

Have you ever driven into West Cumbria along the A66? Have you got to Bassenthwaite Lake and spotted on the hillside a white rock? Have you ever wondered about the story behind the white rock? If so join me as I tell you the story of the Bishop of Barf! I will tell you about the tale of the Bishop of Derry and how a crazy bet started a legend. As I tell you the tale I will also take you on a climb up to the rock - definitely not for the faint hearted!!

    Thank you for watching and thank you for your comments. I only realised it was no longer a hotel when I came to make the video. As you say it’s a shame a hotel with such a great history is no more.

    You should try carrying on from there right up to the top of Barf, it's a grade 1 rock scramble and very hairy... I thought I was going to die at times!

    Before I set off I was talking to one of the people who live in the Swan apartments. He said that the climb to the rock would be ok but not to go further. He mentioned the number of times he had seen the rescue helicopter come to pick people up who tried to scramble past that point! That was enough for me! 😂 Seriously well done for getting up from there. It’s one scary climb. 👍🏻

    I wouldn't have done it except I had Wainwright in my hand and he had it drawn as one of the ways up! He'd go up pretty much anywhere him though haha!
