"Thursday 10th May 2018. An ascent of Great How 522m/51m, Slight Side 762m/14m, Sca Fell 963.9m/132.2m, and Symonds Knott 959.3m/20.9m, from Eskdale, Lake District, Cumbria. 21.0km, with 1250m of ascent. 10hrs 0min.
After an overnight stay in DB's house, BC drove us in his electric car over the Wrynose and Hardknott Passes. The car made short work of the hairpin bends, indeed took them more efficiently than a vehicle with petrol or diesel engine. We parked at the Woolpack Inn in lower Eskdale, principally as it offered an electric charging station.

"Solo. From car park at NO022437 to the north of Dunkeld. After ascending Crieff Hill and Deuchary Hill West Top. I descended northwards to join the track going towards Deuchary Hill near the outfall of Lochan na Beinne. Followed the track and the continuation path to the summit of Deuchary Hill reaching the trig point and scrambling up the rib of rock which is the highest point.
