"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.

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
