On a round of Loweswater - Burnabnk Fell, Blake Fell, Gavel Fell, Low Fell, Fellbarrow, from car park at N end of Loweswater. 18.5km, 5h20Rockdoctor03/03/2024
Parked at Maggies Bridge. The round of Mellbreak North and South Tops, Hen Comb, Floutern Cop, Banna Fell E Top, Gavel Fell, Blake Fell and Burnbank Fell. Cloudy day with some sun but chilly NE wind. Some snow left on the top of Blake Fell from the weekend but surrounding higher hills looked impressive - across to Grasmoor and Red Pike/High Stile. Worth mentioning the good track not on the map heading off NE from Burnbank that curls N to meet up with the bw below and facilitate a more direct return to Maggies Bridge. Solorichard6903/03/2024

A round of the Loweswater Fells from Maggies Bridge, visiting Mellbreak (both tops), Scale Knott, Hen Comb, Floutern Cop, Banna Fell (E Top), Gavel Fell, Blake Fell, Carling Knott, and Burnbank Fell. A lovely autumn day, with the Buttermere area getting the best of the sunny weather, most of the Lakeland Fells were capped with mist. 23km with 1200m ascent taking me 8 hours.silverwolf_alan27/10/2023

Parked at Maggie's Bridge for a circuit of Mellbreak North Top, Banna Fell, Gavel Fell, Carling Knott and Burnbank (visited post and cairn).PGCE03/09/2023
Waterend cp past Hudson Place and along lakeside path, first track up quite overgrown, so carried on to end of wood where path climbed up west to recently felled section blocking the path, turned south east up improved track until it turned overgrown and boggy, cut back west up path to 10 meters from top wall of wood. Nipped over wall onto Coffin Path. Followed this north west to 113217, where steep path leads up to pile of stones, then good path to summit.Flatfield26/08/2023

From the long lay-by in Loweswater up through various paths to join the track towards High Nook and then the path up to Burbank continuing on to Owsen Fell before retuning the same way. Met a local who is a neighbour of the much commented on irascible farmer in Lamplugh, living next door hasn't saved him from a telling off from both the farmer and his wife when using an apparently much used local cut through that includes the farmers field.

This was Wainwright number three of the day. We were expecting the one off to the side to be the Wainwright so double checked the map. There was a clear view of the estuary and the Isle Of Man seemed enormous today.JThorn27/05/2023
