| Dry with cloud lifting so went for this Eskdale group from Wha Farm. Followed Slight Side path to Catcove Beck then up rough grass onto Great How. Then over Whinscales, Dawsonground Crag, Whin Crag and Goat Crag. Pathless and full of humps and little valleys and wouldn't have located summits without GPS. Hard work but good path down at the end. | BURGESS | 11/06/2021 |

| Wha house farm CP > Goat Crag > Slight Side > Scafell > Great How > Whinscales > Dawsonground Crags > Wha house farm CP. Solo walk. Stunning day once again with great views and lots of sunshine. Lost the will so left Whin Crag unbagged for the day. | johnkaysleftleg | 18/05/2021 |
| Walked over from Great How as the rain eased but we did monitor the thunder and lightening that was hitting the valley floor of Eskdale. Thankfully it didn't come towards us and we visited this fell safely. | morgs4mountains | 13/05/2021 |
