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.IanHHill14/03/2024

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 routeRowanP23/11/2020
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.Lazylizzie04/10/2020

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.DABT19/09/2020

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 Hotty07/06/2020
