Just Me and H, Blue Sky day with a nagging cold wind, ground not too wet. | johnkaysleftleg | 17/09/2020 |
1/3 Birthday walk. Used Pennine Bridleway to get up to Little Fell, then lovely walk along the ridge with views to Mallerstang, over the minor road and up to Birkett Common, then along this lane to get back to main road and up Ash Fell from the Cattle Grid. Go up LHS of the wall and cross it about 100 metres from the trig point, easy throughs in the wall there. Even I did it. Then back over open access land to car. | nickywood1 | 03/09/2020 |

Roadside verge parking (SD 7827 9973). Good track up to High Dolphinsty, then followed the wall to Low Dolphinsty after which another track leads up to summit, marked by a few rocks in the grass - the cairn is a distraction. | jonglew | 14/02/2019 |
With Jenx and Bryher up the Bridleway from road parking nr Hazelgill to SE. Very snowy and limited vis on top. To the cairn and two other possible high points | nordicstar | 02/02/2019 |

Pleasant walk from N over Greenlaw Rigg. Tuck your wing-mirrors in when parking - the wild ponies like rubbing against them! | Aye Jimmy | 25/05/2015 |

Parking is possible on the verge east of Hazelgill where the Pennine Bridleway reaches the road at an altitude of 941ft. Follow the signposted PB as far as High Dolphinsty then bear to the east of the ridge wall, following a good path to the top. Don't try and skirt round Low Dolphinsty on the return as you have to regain the height you lose in order to re-join the path down.... easier to just go back over the small rise. | moorsman | 15/10/2014 |
