From Fell Foot, over Saddle Fell and down to Landon. Back up to Websters Meadow and to the summit. Very boggy after the recent storms, and the streams in the valley were very tricky!MrChris198018/02/2023

Parked south of Parlick and contoured around that on the way up to visit the trig point first and then over to this high point and Parlick on the way down. A nice circuit and beat the rain too - a bonus.Father Ted11/08/2021
Parked below Fell Foot (there are also spaces for about 10 cars at the top of the little hill). Up Parlick then on to Fair Snape.paulhilder10/08/2021
From same popular parking spot as others, over Parlick to trig (with rather incongruous new bench, apparently only 3 days old) and Fair Snape Fell summit proper. Very pleasant 2.5 hour walk in the summer sunshine.milimana03/08/2021

As others, parked at end of entrance lane to Wolfden Hall. Straight up Parlick and followed wall to Fair Snape Fell. Either side of the wall is ok as there are several crossing points. Saw sheep heavy in wool using scratching post, made me think to beware of ticks which are very active about now.Pete West03/06/2021
Parlick and Fair Snape Fell with K, M and X. Started from the CP at the end of Startifants Lane although we were staying at Hillcrest Farm a bit further down the road but no access on to the hill from there. Sunny but very windy.Herbert Anchovy02/06/2021

Start ~ 601442, Fell Foot. Made a direct ascent of Parlick then headed North following the wall/fence to the summit of Fair Snape Hill. First Dewey ascent of 2020, and who would have expected that. Summits in low cloud and boggy underfoot, felt great! With Wombourne.steve hudson16/07/2020
Parked at GR 601442, room for several cars. Took the direct route which climbs steeply to the top of Parlick the followed the wall then fence north to summit of FSF. Quite thick, low cloud so no views unfortunately. With SH.wombourne16/07/2020

With my daughter and R, as others, could not see car park that is on map but lots of cars parked along road. North to Parlick, then round to trig point and on to true top, then back along by side of wall, round Parlick and down. Lots of gliding going on.Walkingthedog14/06/2020

From below Fell Foot. Very busy today, seemed to be people everywhere. Took the path flanking left around Parlick and first visited cairn, windshelter and trig- then yomped across the peat to the true summit- no one else there. Baking hot day with a nice breeze.
