Gummer's How tourist path from the CP to the S. Nice path frequented by the local Laing cows who have walked along the path to Birch fell making the grassy paths to Birch Fell a bitof a quagmire. A wooden piece of fencing in the otherwise barbed wire fence gives access into the forest and a meander around the trees takes one to the summit mound.matty1971b27/03/2024

Gummer's How tourist path from the CP to the S. Nice path ... lovely summit. Continued along narrower grassy paths to NW of Birch Fell. A wooden piece of fencing in the otherwise barbed wire fence gives access into the forest and a meander around the trees takes one to the summit mound. Returned N to a stone wall and paralleled this eastwards until picking up the ROW heading S to the road. Road Walk in the dusk back to CP.summitter07/10/2023
Parked in forestry car park to S. Good path up with amazing views from the top. Obviously a popular locals walk and several school groups out on the day. Blustery but sunny. Solo.richard6929/09/2023

From Cartmell Fell Church. 9 km, 450 m asc. Over the summit of Raven's Barrow and then by Heights Cottage and Sow How to Gummer's How. N and NE to Birch Fell summit and back by Lightwood. Misty and messy on and around Birch Fell with fallen trees. https://www.flickr.com/photos/samandjo/albums/72177720305080891SalmonJoe07/01/2023
