| Parked at Church Bridge below Troutbeck, then straight up to Sour Howes, north along the ridge to Sallows, and back down to Church Bridge along the Garburn Road. Then up the other side through Troutbeck and along Nanny Lane to Wansfell Pike - busy. North along the ridge to both summits at Baystones. Continued north down to the A592, then across tough ground to Troutbeck Tongue, before dropping steeply down into the valley and back to Troutbeck. All the ground is saturated - especially the section from Wansfell to Troutbeck Tongue! 22km with nearly 1200m ascent, taking me 8 hours, just in the daylight throughout! | silverwolf_alan | 01/01/2024 |

Along the ridge to Wansfell Pike - 25 people crowded on summit at 11am on a sparking Saturday . We passed another 57 (!) on our Nanny Lane descent back for lunch. My 11th ascent. | Chris Pearson | 25/11/2023 |

| 3pm solo ascent after the rain stopped and having just arrived back at Troutbeck for 4 days. For a change I carried along Nanny lane to the end where a waterlogged path led up to Baystones. Dry and breezy under grey skies for a gentle jog along the switchback ridge to Wansfell Pike. 8 days until the OMM in N Wales so sort of tapering. Jogged down a new route for me -the lovely Jenkin Wood path with glimmering views over Windermere as a shy sun came out and back around to Troutbeck with wet feet in my fell shoes but dry otherwise. | Chris Pearson | 19/10/2023 |

| Family wainwright with all the Lilly's including Rupert, Bassett's, Chris, Nathan and Rachel. Parked up Troutbeck and walked over Nanny Lane up to Baystones - very wet and cloudy, particularly on top. G,D&R went back down to their car, and we continued on top Wansfell pike. The weather cleared and we got some decent views over Windermere. Dropped down into Ambleside, had a quick dip under Stockgill force before heading to the Inn for a pint and chippies. | ByronHaywood | 01/08/2023 |
