I parked in a lay-by just up the hill from Gawthorpe village, walked along the main road then the minor road to the foot of the S ridge. A nice walk up, being dry for a change, but only as far as the summit. En route to Combs, it started agin and got heavy. The path back to Gawthorpe got lost in the marsh. Good hills but grotty weather and conditions. | IanHHill | 14/03/2024 |

A hour's late afternoon walk from the road to the south west. Past the enclosure and up to Combs, then steeply down and up to the trig on Burney. AW's Outlying Fell's Walk No 26, but including Combs. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 29/10/2021 |
A quick trip up Burney in the mizzle for me and the birthday girl DD7. A most excellent lunch followed in the Square Cafe Broughton. | nukeboy1 | 25/09/2021 |

The Wainwright route from the deceased 'No Parking' sign with DW and DS8. What a great way to waste an hour. Such stunning views from such a tiny peak! | nukeboy1 | 16/09/2021 |

K Climbed from road at entrance to Rigg Well on clear path. Summit crowned by trig in low cloud so unable to see view. | crazy | 10/08/2021 |
Very warm 23°c, pleasant climb from the minor road. Good clear views, a great picnic spot for the Greenodd chippy! | Karmakarl | 25/07/2021 |
as part of walk over tops from Kirkby-in-Furness to Water Yeat. Made mistake of dropping down directly west where lower slops are gorse and high bracken | trimarc2 | 12/07/2021 |

An uninspiring ascent of an Outlier on an uninspiring day in Lockdown 2 2020. Shame the motor bikes have made such a mess in the valley between Burney and Combs. Followed AWs route | RowanP | 23/11/2020 |
Burney, Blaiwith Knott, Tottlebank Height, Wool Knott, Yew bank, Fisher High and Beacon Fell. Lovely clear day the day after Storm Alex. Rough terrain and boggy in places, quite a tough walk. | Lazylizzie | 04/10/2020 |

Park at foot of Burney (Carol stayed with car). WOF #25. Follow Wainwright route anticlockwise to cairns. Head up east side of fell. Follow the motorcycle tracks west (this route could be wet, I suspect). Steep, so swing north to ease the gradient and loop round to the north. Approach the summit from the north (979’). Latter part of decent south is steep and a good test for old knees! 1 OF. 1.5 miles. 55 mins. | DABT | 19/09/2020 |
Quick solo walk up Great Burney. | Adam Cowley | 12/09/2020 |

We parked at the no parking layby at the foot of the hill and followed the crest up over 3 separate lumps. From the road this looks an easy walk but was much much steeper than I thought. Soon though we were at the top and greeted to a fabulous trig column and amazing views like from Blawith but with the added extra bonus of being able to see the full walk we had just done an hour before. We followed the same path down and feeling satisfied drove home. The bug was well and truly back!!! | Scotty 2 Hotty | 07/06/2020 |

1/2 Up Burney as a revisit, and then across to Combs and back round base of hill to car, parked just at South base of Burney on minor road. Short half hour stroll in autumnal sunshine. Nice | nickywood1 | 14/09/2019 |
