From Ravenglass, walk along the A595 to Broad Oak.Followed footpath signed Snainton Fell. The Knott, White Pike, Woodend Height, Yoadcastle. Bailed out at this point even though Stainton Pike was only another half mile. Weather absolutely dreadful. Descended to outward path and returned same way. 14 miles. Very very wet and tomorrow looks no better!Longwojo14/07/2023
I have a silly habit of bagging hills just because I happen to be nearby. On my way to Wasdale in lovely dry weather I thought I would stop and bag a few on Birker Fell, it would only take a couple of hours and the dry weather would mean no bogs. that bit was true but such a dull hill. Later I swam in Wastwater and slept on top of Pillar. I should not have stopped and got an extra 2 hours in Wasdale. must learn!David Bell08/06/2023
Birker Fell Road > Rough Crag > Water Crag > White Pike > Yoadcastle > Woodend Height > Seat How > Birker Fell Road. Just me and H. Wonderful day wandering around these lonely fells. Great views, nice cooling breeze and not a soul to be seen for just about the entire walk. 400th Birkettjohnkaysleftleg09/07/2022

WOs 35-43; Bs 26-38. Cloudless skies so did a huge day with 9 WOs and 12 Bs. Parked at summit of Fell Road then quickly up and back Stoneside Hill. Excellent walk over Great Paddy Crag, Buckbarrow, out and back to Kinmont Buckbarrow and same to Plough Fell (dull). On over Burn Moor to Whitfell - best views of whole trip - and pitched camp under Stainton Pike. Joyce set up camp while I did Stainton Pike, then horrid boggy walk out to The Knott and much better back to White Pike, Woodend Heights and Yoadcastle. Walked back to Fell Road next morning in thick mist.BURGESS24/07/2017

Continuation of walk from Hesk Fell. Walked north-west for several hundred metres, then dropped down west to the col. Then made a rising traverse south-west to join the ridge north-east of Stainton Pike. Then followed path north along the ridge and up to the rugged summit. Walk continued to Woodend Height.
