Corney Fell Road > Great Paddy Crag > Kinmount Buck Barrow > Buck Barrow > Burn Moor > Whitfell > Corney Fell Road > Stoneside Hill > Corney Fell Road. Just me and H. Started off in thick clag and this continued for the entire walk accompanied by a strong breeze bringing a fine mizzle. Very wet underfoot with the decision to not wear gaiters being a poor one. Also forgot my sandwiches. Not the best day to be fair.johnkaysleftleg08/07/2022

Another great day picking up Birketts on these hills of solitude!! The day started off misty, then cleared and we had an extended light rain shower in the afternoon as we walked from Whitfell to Plough Fell. Plus, we had the added bonus of spotting a meadow pipit clutch of eggs. A happy day of bagging indeed!!morgs4mountains12/05/2021

WOs 35-43; Bs 26-38. Cloudless skies so did a huge day with 9 WOs and 12 Bs. Parked at summit of Fell Road then quickly up and back Stoneside Hill. Excellent walk over Great Paddy Crag, Buckbarrow, out and back to Kinmont Buckbarrow and same to Plough Fell (dull). On over Burn Moor to Whitfell - best views of whole trip - and pitched camp under Stainton Pike. Joyce set up camp while I did Stainton Pike, then horrid boggy walk out to The Knott and much better back to White Pike, Woodend Heights and Yoadcastle. Walked back to Fell Road next morning in thick mist.BURGESS24/07/2017
