From verge parking near the entrance to the forestry track SW of Knock Murton. Up Knock Murton by a zigzag path after the first gate along the forestry track, then another path that initially follows the fence line, visiting the cairned summit and its uncairned rival, then descending N to a narrow path through the trees, crossing a wide forestry track and ascending Left to Low and High Pen, before following paths and a short ascent to both Godworth and Kelton Fell.Nick Down102/05/2022

A Six and half mile walk from a parking area to the East of Kirkland at a T junction grid 087183, taking in the Birketts of Kelton fell, Godworth, Banna fell, Floutern cop, Gavel fell, High Nook, High Pen, Low Pen and Knock Murton. Time was not recorded as the weather was strong winds and torrential rain and the only real route problem was access to the East side of Knock Murton as a large number of trees had been blown down so resorted to a up and down route from the track to the south.WAYNE ROWLETT12/02/2022

Lovely sunny, clear day so went for eight Lamplugh fells from Kirkland T-junction. Easy walk over Kelton Fell, Godworth and down to sheepfolds. Horrid rough and dreary climb up to Banna Fell then nice summit of Floutern Cop. Decided to add Little Dodd (Hen Comb N. top) as flat path but then had dreary and tiring climb onto High Nook. Easy over High Pen and Low Pen then a steep climb onto Knock Murton with great views. A good bag of 9.BURGESS12/06/2021

Kelton Fell, Godworth, Gavel Fell, Blake Fell, High Pen, Low Pen. Nice day out. With Blogga.DAB8121/04/2021
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 Mackay18/04/2021
Trip out with Dave F to bag another W in the Loweswater group, Gavel Fell. Parked Felldyke car park, up past Cogra Moss, took the steepish track up to the Gavel/Blake path, over Low and High Pen onto Gavel. Lots of burnt heather from recent fires. Not too wet underfoot from recent rain. Cold and misty start and hot sun later in day. Great views of the higher fells.Mark T30/03/2021
