From Ambleside. Toddd Crag, Fox Howe, Lynty Scar and Loughrigg Fell. Lovely area to wander around despite constant drizzle and cloud. Lots of paths/tracks going to every Crag and outcrop had me wandering of course, but there was alwaysmart079714/02/2024

2nd ascent. A leisurely meandering day all over Loughrigg with rhw, who was between Algeria and Kenya! enjoying a good catch up after 4 years and, for Rob, hunting for a line of 10 ancient benchmarks 200yrs old and not even on the OS benchmark database of 70,000. Only found 2 with help of photos of previous loggers as 200 yrs of moss and weathering and had helped them merge into obscurity. Picked up Lanty Scar SE top P20 for me and a host of unlisted minor bumps and repeat P30s.Much dead bracken and bogs encountered. Down to Rydal Cave then path / road to Eagle Crag in Brathay's grounds. Being a November Sunday at dusk nearby lodges and grounds all quiet.Chris Pearson26/11/2023
Last hill of the day, having started in the Coniston Fells. I failed to find any paths so it was a bracken tussleColin Crawford17/09/2022
Across easy open access from Fox How and Todd Crag. Big bonus, if you are travelling back to Ambleside along the road then there is an ice cream stall you will pass in mild weather.moorsman21/05/2022
