From Coats Hill. Nice summit with cairn. Also the first rain for quite a while. Continued to Green How. | Aye Jimmy | 24/04/2015 |

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 Gradwell | 15/04/2014 |
With Jo, linear walk from Water Yeat: Beacon Fell, Fisher High, Coats Hill, Anne Riggs, Green How, then onto Torver. Weather; generally sunny with high intermittent clouds, cool breeze, with good visibility. | amblerbob | 11/04/2014 |
