From N via PRoW, parked 200m E downhill of path start.Minto29/12/2023
Driving rain all day whilst I was supply teaching at Cartmel. Incredibly, despite the forecast for the rain to continue until tomorrow evening(!) it stopped for 2 hours at home time and my chance to visit 4 local Tumps - overclad in wellies and full waterproofs as I expected a drubbing that never came. Cumbria Butterfly Conservation volunteers have been improving the habitat on this limestone scrub for the Northern Brown Argus, Wall, White-letter Hairstreak. Across the road a farmer was busy flailing his hedges (outside of the March to Aug ban for nesting birds). According to Farmer's Weekly this is good hedgerow management as it enables the hedge to grow back and knit together to become thicker and stronger; better for wildlife and avoids a hedge becoming a great lollipop(!). There's also £60M available to farmers for carbon sequestration in managed hedges. UK has 800,000km of hedges, 52% managed.Chris Pearson19/09/2023

From Grange railway station and FP which enters field due north of toptrimarc214/01/2023
Parked in the lay-by (SD 395 779) suggested in Wainwright's Outlying Fells walk number 15. Then followed his route clockwise (but over by the Beacon on Fell End first). Visited the Hospice, then the HP on the wet and slippery limestone pavement, before descending to High Farm, and along the convenient farm road to Spring Bank. After return to the lay-by, I headed for Wart Barrow, following road past the golf club and cemetery, to join Wart Barrow Lane at the road junction. Walked along the narrow lane to the public footpath at SD 388 777, taking it for 350m, then diagonally up to rocky summit of Wart Barrow. Back the same way. 7.3km with 260m ascent, taking 1h 50m.silveracorn_alan27/10/2022
From footpath to west.Pleasant, modest hill with good views. With Oscar.catman18/05/2022
Nice little hill. Managed to park 100m W of FP start to NGordonAdshead12/11/2021
Parked easily down the last residential road in Allithwaite (Fell End?) Walked along the road to where, just beyond the seat, there is a signpost pointing over a stile. Straight across the field without any issues.moorsman14/07/2021

Parked at 39198 77822 near the cross roads and walked back along the road past the obvious gate, as it had barbed wire wrapped around the top, to the footpath and climbed up from there.clivevilla22/10/2019

A Christmas Morning Stroll from Grange Fell Golf Club over to Floodburgh to listen to the band and sing Christmas Carols. Lovely daynickywood125/12/2018
Parked on Fellside. a residential road (SD 3867 7706). RoW initially, for which I could find no access, so over the wall. Had to keep left of hillside gorse etc so veered further to the N than the direct line I'd intended. Fragments of limestone pavement at the top. Seemed to be another possible HP a short distance N at SD 38968 77339.jonglew02/12/2018
Parking to the N would have meant blocking a farmer's gate and possibly the narrow road, so instead I opted to park on the residential close to the SW and took the footpath, veering off to the summit after avoiding the worst of the hawthorn trees.Wheelsy25/07/2018
Convenient Tump baggers' parking spot by footpath to north. Cooler evening air for final fell of the day. Superb view of the Coniston fells.Wycombe Wanderer09/06/2018
3rd top of 6 on a 15.3km route from the Wraysholme crossing to Grange over Sands, climbing Humphrey Head and Applebury Hill then continuing through Allithwaite to climb over wall and head up beside wall to the trees, forced North due to dense canopy then profiling around to the top to explore all the Limestone pavement high points. Great Wee top!. Descent to corner of lane via gate then up taking Northerly lane past cemetary, heading for Hampsfell...Dazingdale02/04/2018
