"Birthday Wainwright bonanza! Gorgeous weather 25 degrees with stunning views all around. Originally we had set off to do 3 but soon realised we could tick a few more whilst we were up there and we had daylight on our side. :) " — Nicolefrances • May 13, 2023

"27/11/2022 Sunday morning walk with Susan. Forgot to start tracking again after coffee stop on Fairfield so apologies for lack of track after that! Total time today 3hrs 30minutes. Weather cloudy with a little sun and a very brief shower. Descended from Seat Sandal via the south ridge above Little Tongue Gill - very pleasant way down." — johnandsue4fun • Nov 27, 2022

"Started from Rydal at 6.40am and proceeded in darkness as far as Heron Pike ( easy route finding) thence onwards around the horseshoe. A great winter’s day out with Susan. Back to Rydal by midday." — johnandsue4fun • Jan 11, 2022

"I parked on the lane by Michael's Nook at NY 34084 08418, where there is room for 2-3 cars. Taking the lane up between houses to the open fellside, I took the zig-zag path up through the bracken to the embedded boulder at the end of the south-west ridge of Great Rigg, which Wainwright appears to describe on the fourth page of his chapter on Stone Arthur in Book 1 of his Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. However, his drawing on the same page makes the position of his summit unclear, so I continued up the rocky ridge, visiting each knoll, until the ridge expired in grassland. I continued up over High Rigg onto the Fairfield plateau, visiting the highest point. A steeper decent south-east over more rugged terrain brought me to the col below Hart Crag. Some fifty metres up on an eroded path, and I was on the north summit of this fell. A recent high accuracy survey was unable to differentiate between the northern and southern cairns of the fell at 823.1m, so I ensured I visited both. I then retraced my route back over Fairfield and Hart Crag, continuing along the Rydal ridge to scale to the summits of Rydal Fell and Heron Pike. A steep pathless descent followed to Alcock Tarn, and..." — marktrengove2 • Aug 2, 2019

"Up Tongue Gill from Mill bridge, round the back of Fairfield, started ascent from stepping stones at the end of the lake arriving at Deepdale Hause, climbed St Sunday, then walked back along the ridge to climb Fairfield via Cofa Pike, then taking in Great Rigg and Stone Arthur before returning to Mill Bridge." — vygodski • Nov 2, 2016

"Solo. After ascending Helvellyn, Seat Sandal and Fairfield starting from Stanah Cross. From the summit of Fairfield I descended over Great Rigg, Rydal Fell (615m, 621m) and Nab Scar to reach Rydal. Just missed a bus so walked to Ambleside. The day was cold with a little rain. There was a little lying snow on the highest parts with a cornice on the NE face of Helvellyn." — peter43 • Apr 1, 2006
