Car park to N on Underbarrow Road then a walk South along Scout Scar leads to the mushroom viewing platform and then keep going to the trig point. Superb views all around even in slightly dodgy weather, I could see the Langdale Pikes and there is a great view of Morecambe Bay. The Mushroom has a view finder where you could spend ages on a clear day picking out the fells. The trig itself is missing the top plug cap but is in a generally good condition. A good easy but rewarding trig point.

After an overnight stop in Kendal I was at this pillar for sunrise. I parked at Scout Scar car park and followed the PROW to the pillar. Good views accross the valley and towards Morecambe Bay. The pillar is in generally good condition but the foundations are slightly exposed and the centre cap for the spider is missing.

Walked onto the limestone escarpment via Underbarrow Road. If you approach from Kendal there are two car parks near the brow of the hill on the right hand side - free. A flat walk over limestone pavement to the pillar....superb 360 views showing the many faces of the Lake District. This pillar on Scout Scar is for all the people who put bowls of water outside their property. It's a dogs equivalent to a "pub crawl!". Much needed this last week.

Parking area due N. Pleasant walk S along Scout Scar taking in a couple of 'hills' on the way. Pillar has no centre cap and is unplugged; all sight holes open. There is minor chipping to the top edges and the whole thing is a little care-worn, but nothing significant. Full panoramic views, but a bit limited to the S.

This trig was an absolute delight after several days of getting rubbish views from the tops. Shows what a poor winter this has been as I've only given one other nine since the Western Isles last September. Two knocks to top corners and a crack running from the S of the flush bracket so 'slightly damaged'.

Astonishingly a lovely viewpoint and well sited trig point. The limestone edge is very open and has a very distinct scarp face facing westwards. Ensure you visit the mushroom viewpoint as is has a superb toposcope displayed on the inside of the mushroom cap.

Followed the Scout Scar path from the car park, past the "mushroom" and easy access to the pillar via large gap in the wall. Excellent all round views.

Its a good few years since i last came up here & i had forgotten what a lovely spot it is. Walked up from Kendal station via Underbarrow road then on to the path which takes you up on to the limestone pavement that is Scout Scar. After visiting the viewing shelter i carried on to the trig further along the ridge. Descended by the wall & then the path on to Brigsteer road & back to Kendal town centre. Great views on the top.

Westmorland. The scar is a very interesting feature and a rewarding route to the trig pillar. The mushroom domed viewpoint is definately worth visiting, especially on a clear day. Plug missing.

Lovely walk along the limestone path, Scout Scar, in bright sunshine and a fresh breeze. We had amazing views of the lakeland mountains, Morecambe Bay and the Howgills. The nearby circular mushroom viewing area had all the distant landmarks identified, which was very helpful. Plug was missing and infilled with stones. Great end to a weekend trip to the Lakes.

Visible and accessible. Walked up across the race course and then followed wall up to the trig point. Pillar is in excellent condition except that the plug is missing. All four holes are open. A wonderful all round winter vista today.

Ambleside shopping finished (why do all those shops shut at 5 or 5.30 on a friday?)and a quick walk out between showers with no real views I gave the viewpoint a miss this time but I can imagine its benefits. Parked not in the car park but on a smooth rock pavement just to the East that also appears to be a parking area. Interesting to say the least
