| 2nd Visit - only 30 years since my 1st visit. Low level hills today as bigger hills clagged in -thick low damp cloud, strong summit winds and rain showers with a cloud base hovering even around these low hills. 3 repeat Tumps and 3 new sub-tumps -all paths waterlogged (boots opted for rather than trail shoes) after 2 non-stop rain days (yellow met office warning), but largely dry today and oddly warm, up to 15C. With L from- Wray Castle NT & lake path - Epley Head (sub T) - Latterbarrow up NE path from Scout Basecamp - Rough Haws (sub T) path to Far Sawry - & return over Scale Ivy Intakes - Claiffe Heights - Three Dubs Crags (Sub T) -Wray Castle. | Chris Pearson | 07/10/2023 |
| Quick ascent with little effort to reach the gorgeous views over Windermere & all the surrounding fells. Children did really well, Anna the whole way & Alma managed most of the descent on her own wee legs! Proud mummies. | AmyYoung | 13/09/2023 |

| From Red Nab car park, Claife Heights and Latterbarrow. Summit of Claife Heights quite hard to locate, especially with high bracken. Trig point deep in the wood, no view now. Very quiet path. Good views of Windermere from Latterbarrow. | Lazylizzie | 03/08/2020 |

| Bec decided on Latterbarrow as the weather was coming in quick. We parked in the 1 car layby at the foot of the fells and headed straight up to the summit. Very easy path a little steep for Myla but shortly after made it to the outstanding cairn at the summit. We could just about see views of Ambleside and the lake in front but the clouds and rain where coming in so we headed back to the car. Just in time it turns out as it started pouring down on the way home. Cracking day and really easy too. | Scotty 2 Hotty | 16/06/2020 |

| From the top end of Loanthwaite Lane, walked up Latterbarrow then via forest paths to Claife Heights. Disappointed by Claife Heights as the surrounding conifers have grown so tall that they obscure any view. Return to start point by different forest paths. | Walkingmurphy | 18/01/2020 |
