Located in Battersea Park London until 2012 when it moved to Grizedale. This is a large white oversized concrete stile, which can me climbed over with much effort (Muddy boots have made it not so white anymore). Positioned on the Grizedale Tarn Trail right at a ford in a stream, making two hurdles to get over at this site.
