From Sour Howe, good path along ridge though very wet and muddy at the moment.mart079726/01/2024

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
Parked at Church Bridge below Troutbeck, then straight up to Sour Howes, north along the ridge to Sallows, and back down to Church Bridge along the Garburn Road. Then up the other side through Troutbeck and along Nanny Lane to Wansfell Pike - busy. North along the ridge to both summits at Baystones. Continued north down to the A592, then across tough ground to Troutbeck Tongue, before dropping steeply down into the valley and back to Troutbeck. All the ground is saturated - especially the section from Wansfell to Troutbeck Tongue! 22km with nearly 1200m ascent, taking me 8 hours, just in the daylight throughout!silverwolf_alan01/01/2024

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
Another solo training run from Troutbeck as yesterday, but today climbed up Sour Howes on the good path with stiles through the NT parcel of fellside from Garburn. Sweaty work but strong cold wind on top -needed cag and hat on for non stop jog to Sallows. Mushy swampy bog patches - sodden feet - didn't matter as my fell shoes still sodden from yesterday. For the first time I left written (not verbal) details of my route with L having read a mountain rescuer report urging this, as if you have a mishap the search dogs WILL find you, and it puts lesser risk/ time on he rescuers if they know your plan, as well as less worry on loved ones. Heartbreak report of a young girl shouting at the mountains: 'Daddy - Where are you?'Chris Pearson28/09/2023
Calm before the storm as Storm Agnes due this afternoon with the Met Office Lake District forecast predicting 'heavy and persistent rain which can lead to drenched clothing and footwear with waterproofs often becoming soaked through, especially if accompanied by strong winds'. Cheerful thoughts as I jogged / struggled along in full lightweight waterproof on my 2 hr + OMM training run from Troutbeck cottage, which looks across to this fellside. Rain began at noon with spot on accuracy and wind increased. Good testing conditions in the rain and wind for OMM - although unlikely to have a nice wall to follow on the OMM to navigate by and I would today soon be back having a hot shower and indoor hot lunch - rather than crawling into a wet tent. Down to Garburn Road pass. Nobody, I was relived to see, was heading up onto the Kentmere Horseshoe.Chris Pearson27/09/2023

Uneventful walk on easy path from Sour Howes- but in fine scenery. Delightful couple on top asked me if I had done all the Wainwrights, I guess my wizened looks suggested I'd had enough years to. This was their first! Up from Borrans,back down via Garburn Pass and Dubbs Rd. Sunny day with a few clouds.pwheeler04/03/2022

From Troutbeck via the Garburn Road (track) to Garburn Nook then path over open grassy hillside to summit. Ridge of slate breaking through grass. Warm in bright hazy sunshine.
