3/16 Beautiful spring morning with blue skies, no wind and temps to head to 18 degrees. Still picking up easy starters here - lovely through the open woods from Doctor Bridge. Bridge named after the surgeon Edward Tyson (hence the doctor name) who had it widened in 1734 to take his trap. On a school science museum trip I recently enjoyed a hands on practice building an arch bridge and was intrigued at the clever wedge shaped brick design that exerts the pressure outwards. They arch surprisingly work best with a constant weight / road surface above. This packhorse (and trap) bridge is scheduled and still doing its job. 
From summit down N to fp and then angled up steeply off piste alongside Birker Force being careful not to slide into it down the smooth dead bracken. | Chris Pearson | 26/03/2022 |
Easy pathless walk up through the woods from the NW corner, near Doctor Bridge. One low fence to cross as you approach the summit. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 29/09/2021 |
Easy route from South side | conanharrod | 21/02/2021 |
3/4 Parked Dalegarth Station, down to the Church and along riverside path picking up Doctor Bridge Path. A footpath heads off North over the shoulder of Dalegarth How from which easy access to summit. Back to riverside path same way then along to Hodge How, again a path signed to Eel Tarn takes you onto shoulder of this easy hill. Back down and over Doctor Bridge then turn immediate right continue over cattle grid to find opening into the woods of Crag Coppice and wind up to summit of here. From here we excited bottom SE corner of woods and headed East for two fields then South West over last field to find stile in wall onto open fell to join the footpath rising up using old pony sled mining track (great path). As soon as it levels head due West along the cliffs to arrive at Gate Crag, crossing the Birker Force beck using stepping stones. Then we came largely west, contouring to reach bridleway through Whincop farm and worked round to descend through Stanley Gill Waterfall. A lo | nickywood1 | 13/10/2020 |
