Easy parking at the start of the bridal way to the north. Picking up the trig and a nearby geocache on an easy in and out stroll. | RowanP | 26/08/2023 |
From the minor road to the ESE there is a track that takes you diagonally upwards and avoids the quarry. | clivevilla | 17/05/2023 |
Bridleway from the South | maknipe | 29/03/2023 |
3.8 mile walk from the quarry entrance. Along ROW towards the old summit of Lambrigg Fell. Near the 3-wall junction there is a pallet up against the wall held up by a single strand of barbed wire. This is probably the easiest way to cross to the proper summit even though the wall is a bit crumbly. After bagging the summit we retraced our steps to the car and followed the path between quarries up to Summerhouse Hill. The gate to get into the trig field can be opened. The curious sheep even came up to welcome us. Back to car. 172m ascent. Nice views for little hills towards the Lakes and the Howgills. Summerhouse Hill has a better summit than I would of expected. Earlier we bagged Penrith Beacon. Now all that's left is a long drive down the M6 home. | DanTrig | 05/03/2023 |
Parked near quarry entrance and made the short walk up to the summit with Alma Aurea. Great views and a pleasant evening walk. | meltdiceburg | 07/10/2022 |
Good parking in quarry entrance, especially as it was Sunday. | Flatfield | 17/07/2022 |
Probably best to bag this one before the quarry extends much further. | summitter | 01/06/2022 |
From Roan Edge Quarry. | Sedge | 23/04/2022 |
Parked near quarry followed FP between the workings up to gate into field and up to trig with C. | PeterD | 21/12/2021 |
Easy climb between buses. S1 from Kendal to Sedbergh - stops near M6 bridge then follow OS marked FPs to trig. Good viewpoint | trimarc2 | 04/09/2021 |
From layby on the A684,just down from the windfarm entrance: Lambrigg Fell, Lambrigg Fell Old grid reference and Summerhouse Hill. As noted by others, there are high walls to climb to access Lambrigg. Good view points on all summits. | Lazylizzie | 22/05/2021 |
Easy parking at start of the track to the N, especially with no quarry activity today. A short section of the track has been fenced off due to potential landslip into the E quarry but a bypass route has been built. Nice views from the trig on a bright sunny cold afternoon. | milimana | 24/12/2020 |
Solo. Left the M6 @ j37 and parked in a lay-by on the E bound carriageway of the A684 @ SD 59436 93128, opposite the public footpath sign. Then across to the footpath following obvious route to the summit trig pt. Interesting views, which would have been even more interesting in less cloudy weather. | ADT | 26/07/2020 |
Parked and walked in from the quarry road in clear weather and a strong wind. Despite the eyesore of the quarry, the trig point provides a fine viewpoint, with the Howgills covered in snow. | JohnW | 27/02/2020 |
4/4 Knotts, then Firbank Fell, both from parking beside the Fox's Pulpit Quaker preaching site (interesting) and then Kirkbank and Summerhouse Hill. Uninspiring hills on a drizzly day but gets them done | nickywood1 | 04/01/2020 |
From Quarry entrance | briandiggle | 26/12/2019 |
Parked at the top of the track to the north on the quarry road. Nice pull-in for a number of cars but watch out for the big trucks. Then south along the farm track between the quarries and a quick hop up into the field. Nice spot. | Father Ted | 15/04/2019 |
With Luna | BigNick | 05/11/2018 |
Parked across the road from quarry entrance, but could have gone down to start of the RoW (around SD 5882 9295). Good farm track running SW, short hop across a pasture. HP about a metre from the trig pillar. | jonglew | 06/07/2018 |
After Lambrigg Fell from quarry entrance. Good path to within 100m of summit/trig. | NormanW | 06/06/2018 |
Almost dark. Rain stopped, wind getting up: good for drying the smock. | Wycombe Wanderer | 03/01/2018 |
Solo. Surprisingly pleasant! | Dangerous Dave | 22/10/2017 |
Quick raid from the SE. Parking at SD 58712 91911, follow track then aim for fence on the skyline. | DC11main | 10/11/2016 |
16.40 Pathway from north between quarries. Cold and overcast badly cement plugged vets of the trig pillar spider which I neatened up with a couple of minutes chipping with a stone | vegibagger | 29/02/2016 |
With Jo, from A684 lay-by: Lambrigg Fell (both tops), then onto Summerhouse Hill. Weather; generally sunny, mild, good visibility. | amblerbob | 29/12/2015 |
As others from quarry track to north. | David Gradwell | 17/04/2015 |
W MC, parked in lane to quarry. BW /track in good order still, for how long though? Pleasant top with agree good views to South only! | nordicstar | 07/02/2015 |
Track from NNE passing between two large and very busy quarries leads to trigpoint (FB S5516). Quarry to E of track not shown on current hill-bagging map. | Aye Jimmy | 25/11/2014 |
Pleasant bridleway, fantastic views all round on a lovey sunny day. | citygent | 29/10/2014 |

Up past enormous quarry. Tremendous all round views on a grand sunny day.With Oscar | catman | 06/06/2014 |

Bagged on a foggy late morning with Chris Watson. | Dugswell2 | 14/03/2014 |
New 'waste disposal site' confused us in the fog. The bridleway is still extant and goes between old quarry and new WDS. | chriswatson | 14/03/2014 |
The joys of Walking. A quarry blasting away to the west, the M6 thundering by to the east, wind turbines humming off to the north. Shame about the south .... it has quite good views! | moorsman | 05/03/2014 |
Great for quarry enthusiasts, perhaps worth an approach from S. | jimbloomer | 10/02/2014 |
Have done this once or twice while family are eating at Killington Services, it's only 20 mins walk up and back and better than an overpriced coffee. | Jake994 | 24/07/2012 |
Parked near quarry entrance then followed bridleway round quarry to summit. | MorecambeMonkey | 03/02/2011 |
Quarry now very close to RoW. Good view of Howgills and Killington Reservoir, but Lakeland too hazy today | agentmancuso | 19/04/2008 |

Summit trig visited on Spring into Lakeland LDWA walk run by an old friend Jim Bisham who had been on a Mera Peak expedition with me 10 years ago in 1997 . Did 3 different circuits from Old Hutton with Lesley at a trot returning for refreshments after each circuit. | Chris Pearson | 14/07/2007 |
Turned off the A684 past Roan Edge Quarry entrance followed the footpath round the quarry rim to find the trig S5517 | Tony Hartry | 17/05/2007 |
First of many bad weather training runs from Kendal, over Benson Knott, The Planting, Lambrigg, Summerhouse Hill and return from new Hutton pounding the road. | Eddie | 10/11/1983 |
