A sweet little top to end the day. Started with Bracelet Moor, then a walk through from south of The Hawk, over Knott and then onto Lag Bank and Banks before crossing the main road and picking up three remaining Torvor Common Tumps. A great amble with Bryher.jenx10/02/2019

Circular walk from grass verge at SD 28279 91486. Coats Hill (didn't summit) > Anne Riggs (2nd visit) > Green How > Yew Bank > Fisher High > Wool Knott (2nd visit) > Beacon Fell (2nd visit). Quite a rough outing with plenty of pathless stuff. Close proximity of farmer on quad-bike made us retire gracefully from attempt of Coats Hill. Although we did get very close to the summit - it wasn't close enough!David Gradwell15/04/2014
