From Rosthwaite - Grange fell - Great Crag - Ullscarf - Sergeant Crag - Eagle Crag. 19km 5h 30. The usual winter combination of sodden lower levels then frozen about 600m. Lovely light, back in the dark | Rockdoctor | 14/01/2024 |

A circular route over boggy ground starting at Rosthwaite. Along the valley track past the Stonethwaite, up Greenup Gill, before branching off to the right for Eagle Crag. Then along the ridge to Sergeant's Crag and up the small track to the right of Long Crag, then traversing above it to Greenup Edge. North along the Central Fells ridge over Ullscarf, and down by Standing Crag. Then across very boggy ground (wet feet) parallel to the fence over Watendlath Fell to Shivery Knott. Then a beeline for Armboth Fell, visiting both the Wainwright and Birkett tops. Then up another marshy track over High Tove, and back to Rosthwaite via Watendlath. 22km with 1000m ascent in 7h 40m. | silverwolf_alan | 26/08/2023 |

13 Birkets after 4 weeks no rain - bone dry apart from (thankfully) a few springs. Road all closed off, so a bit of a trudge along the road after Fisher Crag back to start at Steel End carpark. Hd hoped to drop off bike at descent point to road. | Dave Sargent | 13/06/2023 |

Solo from Rosthwaite passing Smithymire Island, then ascending via Lining Crag to Greenup Edge (NY 285 105). From there north-ish on a track roughly following a line of old iron fence posts to the summit cairn. Not an exciting summit but excellent views. | ADT | 20/05/2023 |

Ullscarf and two others, still a bit wintery and frozen so avoided being too boggy. | atreides7887 | 22/01/2023 |
