"Today completed my Winter Wainwrights Challenge - 214 hills to be completed within the winter months, December 21st to March 20. Managed it with 20 days spare despite the many interruptions by builders, family, work, weather, etc." — johnandsue4fun • Feb 27, 2023
"From the NT car park at Wasdale Head. Up the obvious route to the col with Scafell, up alongside the wall then crossing that at the penultimate style and slowly making way up. At top, on to second cairn and then further onto Whin Rigg, returning more or less same way and bagging this, reluctantly, again on return. Incidentally, a party we overtook did the full round coming back along the road on the other side of the lake. They were a couple of miles from carpark when we passed them in the car. Hence, with their route you'd get to bag a few more peaks without possibly the pleasure of climbing the 150m back up Illgill." — vygodski • Jul 24, 2020
"Day 3 of a stay nr Santon Bridge. From here, we walked up through the forest tracks, to the summit of Irton Pike. From Irton Pike, we ascended to the summit of Irton Fell and then up past Greathall Gill to the summit of Whin Rigg. From here we continued up the ridge to Illgill Head. Here there are 2 summits. Great views of all of the Wasdale peaks, including Scafell & Great Gable from the summits and plenty of views down the screes to Wastwater from the path along the escarpment. We returned by the same route, missing out Irton Pike" — davidlong • Sep 4, 2018
