3 separate walks (driving between), to Little Mell Fell, Gowbarrow Fell and Hallin Fell. All done in just over 4 hours. | Barns150 | 29/12/2023 |
Parked in the layby at the Hause to the south. Rapid wind assisted ascent which was cancelled out by the short hail storm that followed on the descent. Dusk visit with limited views, apart from the approaching storm. With Gillian. My 100th English Marilyn. | richard69 | 29/12/2023 |

Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
 
From the Hause, parking for about 3 cars, definitely not 16 minutes to summit for me. Path takes you all the way to the trigpoint. Despite the weather some good views. Nice wee hill. | thejackrustles | 18/07/2023 |

Camping holiday with the family at the Quiet Site, from which we were able to climb Little Mell Fell in lovely weather and enjoy clear views from the top. 4yr old Anna tackled her first Wainwright all on her own little legs (2yr old Alma in the carrier), and braved her first lake swim in Ullswater that afternoon. Amazing day! | AmyYoung | 22/05/2023 |
