| First ever solo Fell. After storms Isha & Jocelyn, plenty of water run off on hill side. Peak is mostly slate & scree; reasonably challenging climb to the Trig point. | LaurenAyres | 24/01/2024 |

| A pleasant afternoon walk in Upper Borrowdale. Starting from the NT car park I went up High Doat, incredibly for the first time with a splendid view from the summit. Then north along the terrace track and for a fourth ascent of Castle Crag. Back along the River Derwent made it a delightful round. 7km with 300m ascent in 2h 20m. | silverwolf_alan | 27/08/2023 |

| Keswick-Swinside-Skelgill Bank-Cat Bells-Holm Crag-Castle Crag-Borrowdale YH with Percy. Pretty dark by the time we made it to the summit. Confusing getting off the summit with 2002 version of explorer map, but hit the path more by luck than judgement. Awkward descent with torch. | campagvelocet | 24/01/2023 |

| Day trip to the Lake District (first time for us) and convinced the Missus to climb a Wainwright, basically cos its the smallest but still a steep bugger to climb. The last 200 feet is epic through the slate quarry and the views up top aware beyond compare. Stunning! | Craigieboy44 | 09/08/2022 |
