On the way down the ridge from bagging the Simm of Black Sails. | Minto | 01/01/2024 |
Repeat on descent from main ridge - before wading out into Levers Water to rock pinnacle during heatwave. Glorious mountain scenery all about mixed with mining scars. Tent close by on ridge - bit of a trek from water. | Chris Pearson | 04/09/2023 |

From Kennel Crag. Nice bit of ridge I don't think I've walked before. Welcome tailwaind but cold enough to need hands in pockets. Couldn't be bothered to pore over the map but hit every possible high point. On to Lad Stones via Black Sails and Wetherlam. | Wycombe Wanderer | 14/04/2019 |
From Walna Scar, overcast but this ridge started in the sun. lovely turf underfoot. | Karmakarl | 30/03/2019 |
