Got the last parking space at Church Bridge.Potentially a lovely walk, but today it was windy with heavy drizzle. Start of path up the hill a wet mud bog. | Hirta | 05/02/2024 |
With Izzy and Margo. The weather on the short drive up from home wasn't great but thankfully it lifted to give a lovely walk and views. | James McKnight | 13/01/2024 |
From Troutbeck Bridge - Sour Howes, Sallows, Yoke, Ill Bell, Froswick, Troutbeck Tongue. With R. On good path for pretty much the entire walk. | Dan Baddeley | 06/01/2024 |
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_alan | 01/01/2024 |
With Poppy from Troutbeck. Was eyeing up Ill Bell, Froswick and Yoke but decided against it with the weather being so awful. 5.6 miles 900ft ascent | nell1583 | 30/12/2023 |
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. | Rockdoctor | 15/10/2023 |
Same lovely walk as yesterday out from our Troutbeck cottage in the morning sunshine. 17 degrees for October. L finding clumps of sheep wool on the barbed wire fences that had almost felted itself into a dense mat in the rain. Paths still awash and boggy from recent rain Once again the clouds clagged in and with rain forecast we returned for indoor lunch in the cottage.5th ascent. | Chris Pearson | 10/10/2023 |
4th ascent, 21 years since last climbed -also with L. From Troutbeck up SE steep Wainwright bagger's messy path whilst L shared her reading about aneurisms -and surgeons who are conscious of cutting through people's memories and personalities. Down long gentle north ridge of this giant glaciated 'roche moutonnee' with a lovey U shaped valley on its east side with its meandering small mis-fit stream. Marshy to col. Next was the steep toil up Scots Rake (Roman Road theory disputed - thought to be too steep and no evidence found. Packhorses used to bring peat down to Windermere- its zig zags now overgrown). Unexpectedly the sun came out and it was soon boiling hot and humid. Down to shorts. Drank all my water - refilled from passing stream. Caught up a retired group of 4 who were in 10 steps and stop mode - they were up from Essex having 3 comfy nights and meals it the Queens Head. Next caught up a family with 2 dogs which delayed us as they needed playing with (the dogs not the people) | Chris Pearson | 09/10/2023 |

From the Queens Head pub. Lovely loop - missed the main track up so had a rather impressively tough direct line instead from the Roman Road. Snow on the tops around and clear views to Windermere making up for the hail. Lovely Friday afternoon. Called trimarc2 so we could both imagine he was there with me. Looking forward to lockdown being over. | Fionalevey | 12/03/2021 |
