Corney Fell Road > Great Paddy Crag > Kinmount Buck Barrow > Buck Barrow > Burn Moor > Whitfell > Corney Fell Road > Stoneside Hill > Corney Fell Road. Just me and H. Started off in thick clag and this continued for the entire walk accompanied by a strong breeze bringing a fine mizzle. Very wet underfoot with the decision to not wear gaiters being a poor one. Also forgot my sandwiches. Not the best day to be fair. | johnkaysleftleg | 08/07/2022 |

7.3 mile circular from Buckbarrow Bridge. Followed beck then footpath up onto featureless Burn Moor, then followed trails across to Whitfell. From then headed back to col and onto rocky Buck Barrow then across to Kinmont Buck Barrow following fence to top of the pass and onto Stoneside Hill. Followed surprisingly busy Corney Fell road back to car. Great views in lovely sunny conditions and only saw 1 other person on the walk on a Sunday in the Lakes. Only 495m ascent on walk. Earlier that day we bagged Caw, Stickle Pike, Tarn Hill and Great Stickle. | DanTrig | 27/06/2021 |

Another great day picking up Birketts on these hills of solitude!! The day started off misty, then cleared and we had an extended light rain shower in the afternoon as we walked from Whitfell to Plough Fell. Plus, we had the added bonus of spotting a meadow pipit clutch of eggs. A happy day of bagging indeed!! | morgs4mountains | 12/05/2021 |

On the Birkett walk taking in Buckbarrow etc 
 
Weather was mainly dry but mist at approx 1500ft | johnjennison | 21/08/2018 |
Final of 7 fells bagged today, doing Wainwright's OF walk 35 with detours to three nearby Birketts. Despite a warm dry Sunday in school holidays, haven't met anyone at all so far today. From Whitfell, at the Wainwright Outcrop path junction took a direct line across damp and tufty grass to DIY gate in north end of stone wall where it joins the fence, then straight up grass to impressive summit cairn. In wet weather suggest best way to this fell top is on the path from Buck Barrow. Back to car at fell road layby on path by fence on south side of Great Paddy Crags. Post walk pot of tea and scone in The Square Cafe Broughton in Furness. | Hillsidenick | 05/08/2018 |
