"Blencathra - all the ridges. Mungrisdale to Bannerdale Crags via the East Ridge then Sharp Edge to Blencathra. Down Doddick Fell Ridge, up Halls Fell Ridge. Down Blease Fell, up Gatehill Ridge. Over the top, down Scales Fell and back to the bar in Mungrisdale via Souther Fell." — johnandsue4fun • Aug 11, 2024

"Had a planned route to tick off 9 wainwrights and 6 nuttalls. Wind speeds reached 90kmh+. Aborted Skiddaw Little Man, to bypass it and have a chance of 'trying' to summit Skiddaw and descend via Carlside (Left a car parked at Millbeck). In the end couldn't keep upright, was far too arduous and gusts were blowing us up to 3-4 metres off track. Also stones being blown up into face - so decided to go back down off Jenkin Hill. Can't say it was any easier and winds barely dropped right down to the 300m mark." — adventure-stricken • Apr 6, 2024
