So delighted to bag this one today, having had an abandoned attempt back in July 2019 due to heat exhaustion. Anyhoo today I opted to approach from the east, with the short ascent up through Pullscar Plantation and the rather dodgy rocky track. When we arrived at the summit there was atmospheric low cloud all around however patience prevailed and the sun came out and wow the scenery was absolutely stunning. Extra bonus points for this trig being of the local stone type construction, love these so much. Wonderful to get another Lakeland trig in the bag at long last <3

Closely followed Bill Birketts route, but for ease of parking I started from Hawkshead Hill hamlet and accessed High Arnside (Black Fell) more directly. Superb route via Yew Tree Tarn, Holme Fell (Birkett), Hodge Close Quarry then Black Fell pillar. Both Birketts just over 1,000 feet, but quality. Talking of numbers and there significance - 12.23.48. Gifted today's pillar to a very, very satisfactory and jaw dropping arrangement of numbers.

Ascent from A593 (GR NY 32934 02193). Great expansive views from summit. Worth going over ladder stile by summit for northerly views. Descent towards Tarn Hows then follow so called Mountain Road without entering Tarn Hows and return to the A593 half a mile South of start point. Logged by Peter and Sylvia Godfrey

What a superb pillar this one is, such an underrated spot! We parked in the wide lay-by at Colwith Brow and headed south towards Low Arnside. The OS mapping doesn't really do a great job of this area, there are lots of good paths and bits of wall all over the place - we could clearly see the pillar from a fair way back, so followed one of these undescribed trods east, through a gate and straight up the fell to the trig. It commands magnificent 360 degree views, particularly to Wetherlam, Holme Fell, Windermere and Coniston, a really stunning place. The stonebuilt pillar is in fine condition, especially considering it is 72 years old. Pillar #57 for my little companion. We headed down via Iron Keld plantation and the Cumbria Way - a fine outing.

Managed to park in small lay bye near Colwith Brow and took footpath towards Low Arnside Farm, which meets a bridleway. It is possile to leave the track on the sharp bend and go almost directly due east up towards the trig point visible on the crags. (only possible on this clear day). Started this walk a little late in the day but the sunset through the mountains was brilliant.

Pleasant walk up from Tarns - towards top follow signs to Iron Feld for path, to avoid alternative boggy approach. Sadly the start of rain and closing in of mist slightly detracted from views, but still worth it.

Lovely walk over from Great Langdale, via Little Langdale and return via Skelwith Bridge (straight line route between trig and tea shop via Park Fell not to be recommended!). Very sunny day - superb 360 deg panorama, fab. Stone built, resin cap, N s/hole open but otherwise vgc, aka Black Crag.

Parked in lay by near Oxen Fell. Took a path to High Arnside farm and a bridle way to a footpath. Took this path for a while then headed eastwards towards the summit. Hard going as there are no paths but well worth the effort. Tremendous views from the top and would have given 10 but for a little cloudiness. The NT plaque indicates this is Black Crag. On returning through High Arnside farm, the farmer informed me that if I had carried on the path, there is a path just at the edge of the wood leading to the pillar. This may have saved me some effort!

There is no OS track to this Trig! I parked at NY3468501635 and followed the path to Sunny Brow. After about 500m there is a track on the right that leads West through the trees which ends at a fence. Cross the fence, it has a stepping stone and is bowed and follow the rocky stream path which turns back into a track. You will come across the Cairn and the trig point is beyond that.

A very windy day - in fact I got blown over on the summit. I resisted the temptation to go up onto the high peaks with mates but instead chose a few lower peaks to go for. I was gald because the new boots gave me a blister just doing this peak - fortunatly the shop chaged them for me when I got home - well done Go Outdoors.

Third visit since 1994. Replacement plug. Good views of Windermere and the Langdale Pikes I refer the readers to Mr Wainwrights thoughts on Rachel. PS for Wainwright tickers don't forget the true summit - 1 metre higher per the OS - is the other side of the wall although AW reports the summit as the 'official' with trigpoint ( unlike Harter Fell in Eskdale where he is rather more copious)
