"Out with the Explorers on their diamond expedition but walking the route in reverse to meet them on the way. Set off from Ashness Bridge area up to Watendlath. Route was to High Tove, Armboth Fell back to High Tove, High Seat Bleaberry Fell, Walla Crag and back to Ashness. Took the youngest kid with me as the eldest was in the expedition. It was a long day but nice to tick off several Wainwrights in a day " — charliegill • Aug 31, 2022

"My final Wainwright, with ALT, BC, KM, RS, JS and Bryher. We set off from the Armboth car park by Thirlmere, taking the steep path up by Fisher Gill onto the boggy plateau. A bog trot followed, and a short pull up to the summit. Summit celebrations ensued, with the imbibing of rhubarb gin and eating of cake and chocolates. We then headed to Armboth Fell, visiting both of its summits as red deer stags barked their mating call. We continued to the rocky knoll of Fisher Crag 421m/18m, before descending by forest tracks back to Thirlmere. A celebratory drink in Grasmere followed." — marktrengove2 • Oct 15, 2019

"Saturday 6th January 2018. An ascent of three fells west of the Thirlmere Reservoir, Cumbria. 13.7km with 650m of ascent. 5hrs 15mins. The fells were Brown Rigg 463m/31m, Bell Crags 559.1m/32.4m and Armboth Fell 479m/27m, including the Wainwright top 475m/6m. After picking up AT from his home, we drove to the western bank of the Thirlmere Reservoir and parked in the Dobs Gill car park. Lakeland car parks are often expensive, but the ticket machine was shrouded in plastic today and parking was free. A good start to the day. We made our way up the eroded bridleway on the edge of the forest, steeply, heading for Harrop Tarn. The path was marked on the map as a bridleway, but it would have been tough going on a horse or pony. On reaching the tarn we crossed the beck by a little bridge and followed a path west through the forest to its edge. Our first objective was Brown Rigg. To reach its summit we worked our way north-east along the forest edge. As we gained the col we disturbed a small herd of red deer. They sped off out of sight over the ridge when they saw us, with the stag acting as rearguard. I have sometimes seen wild red deer in the Far Eastern Fells in Lakela..." — marktrengove2 • Jan 6, 2018
