NOTE there is no access to Owsen fell from Lamplugh and the farmer is not a fan of Birkett, Wainwright or hill walkers on his private land. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 14/10/2022 |

Criss-crossed between Sharp Knott, Carling Knott and Loweswater End then up to Blake Fell. Down to High Nook and Gavel Fell then over to the Banna Fells, before finishing on the knobbly Floutern Cop. Headed home along the wet path then lovely track above Whiteoak Beck and Holme Wood. 4.5hrs total. | summitter | 16/01/2022 |

| Dropped down from Blake on round of hills from Felldyke. | PeterD | 30/08/2021 |
| Cloudy and windy but dry so went to finish Lamplugh Fells. Started from Lamplugh Green with long road diversion to avoid private land onto Owsen Fell (hard work with minimal path). Then good path over Burnbank Fell onto Carling Knott and Loweswater End. Back over Sharp Knott and down through felled forest (Sunday so no-one about). Clambered over felled trunks to reach top of wood and sneaked into field and back to get High Hows. Back via Congra Lake to avoid more private land. | BURGESS | 13/06/2021 |

| From Carling Knott contouring round under Blake Fell. | KeithByTheC | 23/04/2021 |
| With Sarah Evans, Cloudy but not low cloud, hazy almost, sun was trying to come through. Parked at Felldyke car park at Cogra Moss. Just did Blake Fell but ascended via Low Pen & High Pen (Middle Fell) and descended via Sharp Knott, but path through plantation wasn't obvious due to mess left from the logging work so ended up doubling back on ourselves to get onto forest track. Could see the extend of the fell fire this winter, all across Gavel Fell, Banna Fell and Middle Fell. The fence posts were definitely charred. Really enjoyable and some nice memories of Blake Fell for once. Though no official record I have memories of doing Blake Fell before with Mark Rudd and it was really windy and we pretty much had to crawl across the top. | Ruth Mackay | 18/04/2021 |

| 6/7 Birketts Owsen fell, Burnbank Fell, Loweswater End on Carling Knott, Carling Knott, Blake Fell, Sharp Knott, High Hows Lamplugh. All from Lamplugh Church. Walked up road to North for about a mile to get open access to fell to avoid upsetting the farmers and on way down to High Hows had to tackle the closed forestry section - which was feasible because it was Sunday so no chopping down today. Need to go steady down the track muddy but ok. Then went to Cogra Moss reservoir and used footpaths back to church. Nice round. 4 hours. | nickywood1 | 20/10/2019 |

| Gavel Fell (both tops) Low Pen, High Pen, Blake Fell, Sharp Knott, Owsen Fell, Burnbank Fell, Carling Knott, Loweswater End. There is a narrow but good sheep path that contours towards Owsen Fell from the hawse between Sharp Knott and Blake Fell as far as the east-west fence, after which contouring over easy tussocky grass makes a good route avoiding unnecessary ascent of Burnbank Fell. | ijpowell | 27/03/2015 |
