Start ~ 305171, Armboth car park. Followed the RoW direct to the summit of High Tove before crossing the boggy valley to climb to Armboth Fell. Both the bogs and fell were much better than AW's assessment, mind you I has been pretty dry of late. With Wombourne & Pat R. | steve hudson | 28/06/2021 |
As part of the Thirlmere Trot hill event I ran over this top and the others to Greenup Edge, making sure of main tops exc the Howitzer, then boggy Ullscarf to High Tove. Down to Thirlmere sand dam, up Sticks Pass to Raise, Whiteside and Helvellyn exiting via Grisedale Hause to Little Tongue (?) and back to Grasmere. Warm and sunny all day. Tough, but ran the levelish and downhills, | niallp | 27/06/2021 |
Overcast but dry, with stronger winds than expected. Planned to do the central fells, and camp on High Raise, but got there so early decided to head back over Sergeants crag and Eagle Crag. | siholden | 11/06/2021 |
Weather improving | SiHolden2 | 11/06/2021 |
Sometimes the walk to some tops has to be timed ... High Tove is one of those! Fortunately, the recent dry spell meant that this was a fairly dry walk. Walked from Rosthwaite via Watendlath. Lowish cloud made for limited views to the east but amazing, tmospheric views to the west. | apshepherd | 09/06/2021 |
Solo ascent from Armboth Car Park to High Tove - Armboth Fell (Birkett Summit) - Armboth Fell. 4.47m with 398m of ascent in 2hrs:37 mins with 1hr:58mins moving time. Easy going as not as boggy as expected due to recent dry spell. Planned to descend via Fisher Crag but missed path and crossed Fisher Gill to intercept same path used on ascent. | pwhitaker_1966 | 08/06/2021 |
