First of a climbing up the league mission for Boo and I. Misty on the topAlphaville19917/03/2024
From old quarry parking through gate & easy path up to hump-top then Wainwright/shelter & also trig. Some good views, cool but dry & some sunny spells. Back along the edge of the scar.apricorum17/03/2024
Parked halfway down the hill towards Underbarrow and walked back up to the path. Visited both little cairn and shelter. Good views.IanHHill11/03/2024

With Jim & Cat. Unfortunately Jus had got ill overnight, and we didn't want him to miss any Wainwrights, so spent our last morning in the Lakes doing an easy yet very pleasant loop out from Kendal to Kendal Fell, Cunswick Scar and both the Scout Scar summits. Scout Scar is a nice summit, although for once I have to agree with Wainwright that his viewpoint a short distance south is better.wheresthepath02/10/2023
Finally hit by the rain on my late afternoon 5 mile run from Kendal tempted out by sunshine between the showers. Dramatic shafts of sunshine on me from the westering low sun turned to heavy showers. I sheltered in the trees by the mast for a few minutes until it eased (false hope). Passed by one other runner -Phil Rutter who had won the LDMT 2 weeks ago -out in just a t-shirt and shorts. At least I had a cag and hat - ready for the drubbing to come.Chris Pearson18/09/2023
Parked up in Scout Scar car park and took the path on the other side of the road up to the observation shelter for the WO summit and then on to the trig point for the true summit. With Julia, Oscar, Boris and Buddy.ytfckent18/03/2023

With Izzy and Margo. Walk 1 of AW's Outlying Fells. From Cunswick Scar. A lovely walk along the edge in improving weather and views. Visited the mast en route. Just a brief stop on the way to the WO summit and shelter.James McKnight04/02/2023
From car park to N. Along tracks, Summit, Shelter, WO.Minto29/12/2022
3rd visit. Imperceptibly higher than the mushroom -but apparently so. Sunday morning walk from home in Kendal with L. Sunny nice morning but with 1pm rain forecast-which once back arrived on time!). Called in to the Basecamp marquee of the Kendal Mountain festival - talks and gear - bumped into John Bagge- great to reunite. Our upward route would have been busy yesterday as the 10km festival trial run comes this way then along to Cunswick Scar. Today dog walkers and families out in force.Chris Pearson20/11/2022

Free parking on the access road to the mast 200m before (east) of the official pay and display car park. Free car park requires a short road walk to the summit path whilst the paid parking is almost directly across the road. Short walk to summit.moorsman05/08/2022

Scout Scar from the car park on Underbarrow road, visiting the high point, the shelter and the trig. (S)silveracorn_alan31/12/2021
Magnificent viewpoint to the Lakeland Fells across the lush beautiful ( secret) Lyth Valley. Having just moved to live in Kendal this week this view alone made me happy to pay my council tax. A shortest of short stop offs returning from Crosthwaite to collect a wheeled commode ( freecycle) for dad from the Old Vicarage. Took longer that guessed to find as there are two old vicarages ( and a vicarage) in Crossthwaite!Chris Pearson23/08/2021
