| A repeat visit to Gowbarrow to tick off all the tops we missed 13 years ago with a pleasant walk-in from Watermillock Church. This top felt a bit irrelevant to be honest. | milimana | 26/10/2023 |
| Stuck to the highest line possible from Green Hill, which made the going harder, so had the unexpected bonus (?) of seeing a naked man in the distance staring over Ullswater. Evidently very few people deviate from the main route for this top. | agentmancuso | 07/09/2023 |

| Mini-round of the 4 Gowbarrow summits from the main Aira Force car parks. Unlike the other summits, this one required a short bit of heather bashing to reach it - clearly Synges are not as popular as the other hill types on the summit! | wheresthepath | 30/09/2019 |
