Greendale - Middle Fell, Seatallan (now good bucket steps up the steep fellside), Buckbarrow Moss, Brown How (care needed in descent where the steep rocky defiles of the Tongues Gills join Greendale Gill - keep high until E). | Isbjorn | 30/01/2022 |
From limited parking at Greendale NY144055, up the public FP on E side of beck, high TR around E side of Greendale Tarn (lots of slippery bouldery terrain, or else boggy terrain on W side) to col at NY148080, past pt.512 and up N ridge to summit. Descended SW ridge which used to be a faint track in the grass but is now almost a motorway, such has become the popularity of this fell. | Isbjorn | 29/01/2022 |

With Adam from BHMC, Sunny and Warm, from Greendale, heading to Seatallen. | alwaysinshorts | 15/09/2020 |
From Greendale (no Postman Pat seen) up the good path to Middle Fell. Witnessed the end of summer sheep round up whilst walking over to High Pikehow. Once sheep cleared we went up the NE flank of Seatallan then took in the interesting summits of Glade How and Buckbarrow. A good path through the bracken got us back to Greendale Gill and a much needed dip on a very hot day. | summitter | 14/09/2020 |
