Approached straight from Fingland Fell which was very rough in new planted trees. Back out to the track west of Fingland Fell which was more sensible.Tisteln27/08/2023
Parked near Kirk Brae for long circular route. Took farm track to reach top of Broadfield Height. Continued with some traversing to reach steep climb to Breckonside Hill. Negotiated rough ground to reach approach to Big Hill from E. Returned to E and took track through felled forestry to join ridge and reach summit of Yadburgh Hill. On to Scaw'd Fell via steep descent and ascent. Descent to Garrogill and path climbing ENE to emerge to N of Ewelairs Hill. Continued to Ewelairs Hill, Ruegill Hill, Black Hill and rough ground on firebreak through to Laverhay Heights. Continued to Criffell and rough route through trees and then track to Fingland Fell. Descent W (some track, rough felled ground and then pasture) to reach the road and wealk back to start. Some rough ground on this route, particularly in forestry sectionsRobertP25/08/2022
