From Troutbeck Bridge - Sour Howes, Sallows, Yoke, Ill Bell, Froswick, Troutbeck Tongue. With R. On good path for pretty much the entire walk.Dan Baddeley06/01/2024
The Kentmere Horseshoe from Kentmere in an anticlockwise direction visiting 9 Wainwrights: Shipman Knots, Kentmere Pike, Harter Fell, Mardale Ill Bell, High Street, Thornthwaite Crag, Froswick. Ill Bell, and Yoke. A fine and partially sunny Boxing Day, with very fine snow showers. Certainly a nice change from heavy rain and storm force winds of recent days! 22km with 1200m ascent, taking 7h 40m.silverwolf_alan26/12/2023
From Troutbeck Bridge: Sour Howes, Sallows, Yoke, Ill Bell, Froswick, Troutbeck Tongue, then a rather rough and tiresome fight across to Baystones before dropping back to Troutbeck. 21km, 5h 50. Stunningly clear and cold.Rockdoctor15/10/2023
Up with L from Troutbeck via The Tongue and very steep Scots Rake in sudden boiling sun - soon soaked in sweat. The Roman Road status of the track /path over High Street and down Scots Rake is in doubt following a 2016 and 2022 survey which found no real evidence even with Lidar and field excavations. Arguments for it: It is certainly old - boundary references in 12th century charters (Ragg 1910) mention a Brethstrett/Bredestrete - almost certainly High Street. Who else but the Romans could have built an ancient road up there? It is remarkably direct given the difficult terrain. Arguments against it: It is unlike any other Roman road - it is often sunken with upstanding side banks.No connection to a known Roman site has ever been made. Many sections look like a packhorse track - particularly in the north and Scot Rake.Chris Pearson09/10/2023
Around our version of the Kentmere Horseshoe with L. First up steeply the east corrie of Ill Bell in dense damp cold blowy cloud -not the forecast dry with sunny spell. At least the wind was from the SW and behind as planned.Chris Pearson02/10/2023
From Ill Bell after a sweltering ascent in the heatwave of our favourite climb - 500m straight up the steep lonely east ridge from Kentmere Reservoir L engrossed in a work phone call as we trudged upwards over Froswick summit ignoring the bypass path option. Then to Thornthwaite Crag for lunch in the sun - then along to High Street then wonderfully off-piste straight down through the crags at the Head of Kentmere to visit the source of the R Kent and its upper course where we skinny dipped to cool off in one of its many pools -delightful in this rare Sept heatwave.Chris Pearson05/09/2023
