Out with Dave. | Mountain Goat | 22/10/2021 |
4/6 Birthday walk - Up to Yoke (revisit) via Dubs Reservoir, then down to Rainsborrow Crag and drop down contouring round to Castle Crag, Piked Hawes, Rowantree Knotts and Scale Knotts. Interesting picking route over all of those. Back over Garburn Pass. Five nice Synges but a bit late for birthday tea - oops . | nickywood1 | 03/09/2021 |
Solo. Piked Howes, Castle Crag, Rowantree Knotts, Scale Knotts, Rainsbarrow Crag (via steep N ridge), Yoke, Garburn Pass, Sour Howes, Capple Howe from Kentmere. A fine cold spring day. | Vin | 16/03/2020 |
From Castle Crag. Reasonably straightforward descent to Greenhead. Nice view down Kentdale. | Wycombe Wanderer | 13/07/2019 |
From NY 4554 0442 - room for 2 cars. Scale Knotts -> Rowantree Knotts; Castle Crag next, then onto the main ridge for Yoke etc. No tracks but easy ground. | jonglew | 17/01/2019 |
From Kentmere church on path passing Badger Rock. Once through the gate and onto Access Land I made a line straight up following various ribs of rock. A great way up onto a great little summit. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 22/10/2018 |
Climbed from the top of Garburn pass bagging 4 Synge's | robert | 23/05/2018 |
With Bryher, parked up from the church, once past The Nook and approaching Badger Rock headed up the burn falling from Piked Howes, found old cart track further up and followed to close to top. Onto Castle Crag easily, then wet ground and walls to Rowantree Knotts, then after boggy ground Scale Knotts. Dropped with some thought through bracken and juniper to minor road at Scales, then road back to car. | nordicstar | 20/10/2017 |

From a wild camp 7.30 am due to heatwave. Too hot to climb the 7 foot wall of stone and wire protecting the nearby Synge of Rowantree Knotts. | mick | 19/07/2016 |
Alternative start to Kentmere Horseshoe. | Eddie | 05/07/2016 |
Piked Howes > Castle Crag > Rowantree Knotts > Scale Knotts. Wet, misty day. These four Synges were saved till last for sentimental reasons, once lived in Kentmere. As kids used to roam all over these hills, so almost certainly done before. | Aye Jimmy | 23/10/2015 |
Castle Crag - Piked Howes - Rowantree Knotts - Scale Knotts | ronaldo333 | 31/08/2015 |
Parking (about 10 cars) alongside the village hall .... but these places fill up quickly. For a legal alternative, drive beyond the village hall to a sharp left hand bend. Straight ahead, through a gate, is a public road (shown on a notice as such) to Hartrigg. A large notice tells you that there is no parking beyond this gate. This is not true. There are plenty of parking places round the first cattle grid, and numerous others alongside the road. No problems with turning either. | moorsman | 17/06/2015 |

A round of 11 summits, 8 new ones. Parked on the road by entrance to caravan park. | thenomad | 08/04/2014 |
From Kentmere church. Careful route planning needed due to the large number of walls without gates in the area. | JohnStoneham | 04/02/2014 |
From Kentmere church in a storm. | Martin R | 30/12/2013 |
Kentmere Church -> Garburn Road -> Piked Howes -> Kentmere Church | briandiggle | 28/12/2013 |
With Jo, walk from Troutbeck: up Garburn Road to Garburn Pass, then alongside fence onto Buck Crag, Castle Crag, Piked Howes, Rowantree Knotts, returning along the Garburn Road. Weather; overcast, mizzle at first, dryer later, good visibility. | amblerbob | 20/09/2013 |
