"From Scales farm nr A66, on a hot sunny day. We walked up Mousethwaite Comb, at the col, we walked up alongside the upper reaches of the River Glenderamackin to the next col at 600m. From here it was easy pleasant walking on grass and heather to the summit, the usual wet and bog section here had dried up with the hot weather. Good views of Blencathra to the SW and Carrock Fell to the N. After a lunch stop, we descended the grassy slopes and followed the eastern escarpment up to the summit of Bannerdale Crags where the closer views of Blencathra and Atkinson Pike were excellent. After a brief stop, we descended to the col at 600m and retraced our inward route." — davidlong • Jun 24, 2018
"Ascent from Scales via Sharp Edge, then down by Foule Crag to the col, and south-east up to the summit of Bannerdale Crags. Then a traverse on the lip of Bannerdale and up to the summit of Bowscale Fell. We returned to the Bannerdale col, and up again by Foule Crag and on to the summit of Blencathra. Descent to Scales via Halls Fell to Gategill and east back to Scales again. With IB and others. Records of hike now lost." — marktrengove2 • Mar 31, 2000
