Esk Pike, Bowfell and Crinkle Crags from Cockley Beck Bridge. First ascent of Esk Pike from the upper Duddon Valley for me and the desolate but romantic head of Eskdale - splendid scenery.

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 Birkett's route from top of Hard Knott Pass over Border End, Hard Knott and Yew Bank. Crossed Lincove Beck and did Throstlehow Crag and Scar Lathing (hard work). Crossed Esk without difficulty owing to long dry spell and finished with the long, dreary and pathless ascent of High Scarth and shorter ascent of Silverybield. Easy walk down Eskdale path but had to climb Hard Knott Pass via the road to retrieve vehicle - what an end! | BURGESS | 14/06/2021 |

From Cam Spout Crag. Made a rising traverse from Cam Spout Crag summit to get back onto the main ridge and made a careful descent, only coming to a sheer drop once and fortunately not dropping off it. Slightly worried about the time now - about 15:00 - and forgotten my torch. Reinforced by a couple of Tunnocks Caramel Wafers, headed down footpath as fast as possible but was tricker than expected on rock slaps. Great Moss nowhere near as bad as feared though. On to High Gait Crags. | Wycombe Wanderer | 03/12/2019 |
12.5 mile round of hills parking wide grass verge at NY 2103 0113: Heron Crag -> Silverybield -> High Scarth -> Cam Spout Crag -> Pen -> 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 |
