Parked to SSW of Smithy Mire which did first. Good track in winter to top and back to car as bracken no problem this time of year. | PeterD | 30/01/2023 |
Rough crossing from Smithy Mire and also getting down to road. Great views | trimarc2 | 03/11/2022 |
6/16 Close link after Smithy Mire with a high wall in between. Good vantage point for my bad looking plan to next ascend Garner Bank head on across the fell road - it looked steep & rough with dead bracken and boulders and a new deer fenced plantation at the foot .. and now hot! Hmm. Came up with a much better plan - down the road and up the graded bridleway beyond - actually enjoyable and I got to trigger 100 baying hounds at as I jogged past their compound at Sword House kennels (well away from any neighbours!) Over 3 hours now into my 9 hour solo circuit of lower Eskdale tumps. Starting to see tourist cars now out 'for a drive' on this beautiful warm day. | Chris Pearson | 26/03/2022 |

3/4 Parked just beyond bends on road down to Eskdale Green, walked up round the head of the Ghyll and strike over fell to Garner Bank, then on to Brantrake Crags. Down the lovely Bridleway to valley, use lanes to work round to footpath to West of Redfbrow Bank then over Redbrow Bank and Smithy Mire. Fantastic hot day, couldn't have done much more. | nickywood1 | 01/06/2020 |

From car parking at about SD 164990, via the crossing of Whis Gill at SD 161994 using the ruined wall as a bridge - don't slip off the licheny stones here as the water is more than a metre deep! | Isbjorn | 09/12/2018 |

Smithy Mire > Redbrow Bank from GR: SD 16396 98971 | ronaldo333 | 28/10/2017 |
Dawn, clear and -4 overnight meant that the ground was very firm underfoot throughout. An unwaymarked but mapped public footpath from the ruins of Red Brow farm near the NT depot at Milkingsteads, climbs through the wood to emerge onto the open moor. Nice smaller old cairn overlooking the valley for better views. | Karmakarl | 05/01/2017 |
With Smithy Mire. | jimbloomer | 30/09/2015 |
After Smithy Mire. Path from col up thru bracken; path from col skirting below Smithy Mire back to parking to its SW. Then to Greendale Bridge to see Steve Cliff finish his Joss Naylor Challenge in 13h55 - and subsequent party! | RHW | 18/07/2015 |
From Smithy Mire, dry weather so little mire encountered. | Aye Jimmy | 10/06/2015 |
