Quick bag before the journey home,parked at windfarm entrance. Went to the furthet turbine, then followed the wall looking for the pallets others have mentioned. Found them discarded on the ground, but the wall has been knocked down twice at the T junction, so easy enough to get over here. Best to look for this as its a tricky wall to get over. | hils | 26/02/2024 |
As per Rockdoctor and others. Grid reference for pallets over broken wall (as not visible till you are nearly there) = SD 58559 94123. Back by windfarm track. | willyross | 06/02/2024 |

On the way down to Heysham to catch the Steam Packet to Isle of Man with my Dad. We parked at the entrance to Lambrigg Windfarm, Dad waited in the car while I nipped up to the highest wind turbine. Then cut across the heathery hill to clumsily get over a stone dyke and up to the summit. The old GR to the west is visible, but this one does look higher. Back the same way, 38mins all in. | chillyman8 | 27/10/2023 |
Along wind farm road from the S, where there is ample parking besides the access gate. Over to the ROW and onto the old and new summits. | summitter | 07/10/2023 |
As others, parked near quarry side road and took the fp and wall to the pallet ‘gap’. Ensured pallets were properly repositioned and tied in on return. Solo. | richard69 | 29/09/2023 |
From Roan Edge quarry to the south, along the ROW to the gate leaving the windfarm land, then followed walls. Over the pallet covering the broken wall as per previous accounts below. On reflection, this is a poor route as it involved climbing and potentially damaging further a dry stone wall. Maybe there are better ways over from the north | Rockdoctor | 13/08/2023 |
A revisit. There is a substantial stone wall with a strand of barbed wire to cross. Two broken areas are filled with wood pallets, both offering easy crossing points. Not sure why this field is not Access Land. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 08/08/2023 |

3.8 mile walk from the quarry entrance. Along ROW towards the old summit of Lambrigg Fell. Near the 3-wall junction there is a pallet up against the wall held up by a single strand of barbed wire. This is probably the easiest way to cross to the proper summit even though the wall is a bit crumbly. After bagging the summit we retraced our steps to the car and followed the path between quarries up to Summerhouse Hill. The gate to get into the trig field can be opened. The curious sheep even came up to welcome us. Back to car. 172m ascent. Nice views for little hills towards the Lakes and the Howgills. Summerhouse Hill has a better summit than I would of expected. Earlier we bagged Penrith Beacon. Now all that's left is a long drive down the M6 home. | DanTrig | 05/03/2023 |

Good parking on old road/quarry entrance. Up row to old top then over wall via pallet to new top. Back same way. | Flatfield | 17/07/2022 |
Quick up and back from the quarry after stopping on the way back from the Highlands. Visited true summit saw Curlew, Oystercatchers and Meadow Pipits. Very windy. Views to cloud topped Howgills. Lakes obscured by shower clouds. Time taken 45 minutes for 2.2 miles | isabelle | 10/06/2022 |

Stop-off on M6 trudge. Parked at quarry entrance, followed bridleway then over wall. Chilly but super clear, with tremendous views of the lakeland fells and howgills. | steve_a | 21/10/2021 |
Parked in layby and walked to tops over the wall | PhilipChaston | 29/08/2021 |

I found Summerhouse Hill with the trig to the south more interesting, but this was still alright enough. | Alex C | 13/06/2021 |
From layby on the A684,just down from the windfarm entrance: Lambrigg Fell, Lambrigg Fell Old grid reference and Summerhouse Hill. As noted by others, there are high walls to climb to access Lambrigg. Good view points on all summits. | Lazylizzie | 22/05/2021 |

Enjoyable jog up from W via road and via Docker Fell. Other routes likely better for wall crossings. | davechaffey | 02/05/2021 |

MC through Lambrigg WF. Wet underfoot. Dull. | Martin66 | 06/12/2020 |
Parked in wide entrance to wind farm, and made a circuit of the summit, former summit, SW and far SW tops. The former summit is a pleasant little heathery ridge with good views N and E. | Nick Down1 | 12/09/2020 |

Parked at wind farm access and walked up track and through grass. Quite a tricky wall crossing to get to summit. | andy macp | 14/07/2019 |
