| Bus from Kendal dropped me at Slack's Lane up narrow road to Castley Knotts, Brown Moor, traverse around Fell Head and onto Linghaw. Then down to tiny road (no traffic/no people) and walkout to Tebay picking up track alongside River Lune. Pint in pub and bus to Penrith for train back to Kendal. 10 miles | trimarc2 | 14/10/2022 |
| Solo. Off road parking under the 5th arch of Lowgill Viaduct (counting N to S). There’s other parking near the viaduct. Then over Crook of Lune Bridge, past Riddings and Beck House to Beck Houses Gate. Then, sort of, direct following an intermittent track to Brown Moor summit. After that, Castley Knotts and PF leading to Four Lane Ends to return to viaduct. A pleasant walk. | ADT | 09/10/2022 |
| Sedbergh, up through farmyard and diagonal path across face of Winder. On over Arant Haw, Calders, Bram Rigg top, The Calf, Bush How and Fell Head. Down south-west ridge, across to col and up to summit. Down over Castley Knotts and Lane back to Sedbergh. Seems like a lot of effort for one new tump. Good weather though. | Flatfield | 06/08/2022 |

| Shown where to park on the bridleway after a local lady saw me dithering at the junction. Ascended in rain and cloud, which cleared on the descent. Castley Knotts is a better hill with some rocky outcrops - unusual for the Howgills. | JohnW | 27/07/2020 |

| First summit of the day with a view. A circular route from Gate Side heading N over The Calf to Hazelgill Knott then back S from Simon's Seat over Fell Head with lunch in the excellent and remote Langdale Valley.

| Ninth hill of 10 planned on a circular walk in the Howgill Fells accompanied by Sarah, Richard, Denise and 6 of their Brolly Club friends. Weather conditions dominated by thick low cloud. After Brown Moor we walked across to Castley Knotts our tenth and final hill for the day before returning to our luxury holiday cottage. Gateside Cottage is superb and highly recommended. It housed our party of 9 with our 5 cars easily. | Bernard | 11/03/2017 |

| Took three goes to reach Sedbergh from Kirkby Lonsdale in the aftermath of Storm Desmond (one road flooded, one with collapsed culvert and huge hole). Done from crossroads near Hugill, lane and soggy hillside. Returned over Castley Knotts, a much better hill even in a downpour. | Aye Jimmy | 10/12/2015 |
| From Four Lane Ends where 1 car can park. | jimbloomer | 21/08/2015 |
| Rather naughtily squeezed my car into a slight widening of the road 100m north of the entrance to Beck House. Managed not to block the road and was only there for an hour! Pass through the farm and follow the waymarks to the open moor. Direct ascent from here 1.96 miles 1 hour. | moorsman | 19/06/2015 |
