"Returned to Blencathra for a circular walk of the main summits on the East of Blencathra. Set off from Scales Farm, on a mix of cloud & sunny day. walk up to Scales Fell, then on up to Doddick Fell. We continued up to Blencathra Hallsfell top with good views all around, then walked N across the saddle to Saddleback, then onto the summit of Atkinson Pike, then descended via Foule Crag ridge and Blue screes to Glendermackin col. Here we turned SE to return to our outward route and descend to Scales farm" — davidlong • Jun 12, 2018

"Up Scale Fell from the East, taking in Doddick Fell to Hallsfell Top. Took a detour North to Atkinson Pike, then back onto the ridge westwards on to Gategill Fell top and Blease Fell. Returned to Scale eastwards along path that hugs the bottom of the mountain. Note that crossing the last gill requires some scrambling that is technically more difficult than that faced elsewhere on this particular walk if you've avoided the various ridges known for it like Hallsfell ridge and Sharp Edge." — vygodski • Nov 5, 2016
