From Wha House for a round of Silverybield Crag, High Scarth, Pen, Pike de Bield, High Gait Crags, Scar Lathing and Throstlehow Crag. | rhalstead | 23/07/2021 |
Followed Scafell / Esk Hause path from head of Eskdale and pitched camp below waterfall where Scafell path diverges with view to doing High Gait Crags and Pike de Bield next day. Went directly up Pen on its left side, finding faint path left of stream then easy walk from grassy bowl to summit. Came down via Little Narrowcove. Much easier than it looks. | BURGESS | 18/06/2021 |

12.5 mile round of hills parking wide grass verge at NY 2103 0113: Heron Crag -> Silverybield -> High Scarth -> Cam Spout Crag -> Pen (visited the 768m spot height too) -> High Gait Crags -> Scar Lathing -> Pianet Knott -> Throstlehow Crags. High Scarth to Cam Spout Crag and on to Pen a bit tricky in places, otherwise all ok. Section 34B All Hills completion on Throstlehow Crags. | jonglew | 19/11/2019 |
