I have a silly habit of bagging hills just because I happen to be nearby. On my way to Wasdale in lovely dry weather I thought I would stop and bag a few on Birker Fell, it would only take a couple of hours and the dry weather would mean no bogs. that bit was true but such a dull hill. Later I swam in Wastwater and slept on top of Pillar. I should not have stopped and got an extra 2 hours in Wasdale. must learn! | David Bell | 08/06/2023 |
With Izzy and Margo. Walk 34 of AW's Outlying Fells. Parked on Lowther St as wasn't sure where AW meant. You can just about drive a car down here but be careful. 'This is a tough walk' the book said - so it turned out. Energy sapping spongy ground was made worthwhile by Rowantree Force. After this things improved somewhat. Margo enjoyed a dip in Holehouse Tarn before we reached the fine summit. Fantastic views, especially towards the sea. Onto The Knott. | James McKnight | 21/05/2023 |

WOs 35-43; Bs 26-38. Cloudless skies so did a huge day with 9 WOs and 12 Bs. Parked at summit of Fell Road then quickly up and back Stoneside Hill. Excellent walk over Great Paddy Crag, Buckbarrow, out and back to Kinmont Buckbarrow and same to Plough Fell (dull). On over Burn Moor to Whitfell - best views of whole trip - and pitched camp under Stainton Pike. Joyce set up camp while I did Stainton Pike, then horrid boggy walk out to The Knott and much better back to White Pike, Woodend Heights and Yoadcastle. Walked back to Fell Road next morning in thick mist. | BURGESS | 24/07/2017 |
