A cool trig, that stands out from all the surrounding terrain, on top of some rocks that make it a kind of scramble to get right up to it. I always enjoy a little extra challenge to bag a trig.

Place Fell via Boredale Hause & Round How dropping below High Dodd and returning on Ullswater bank. Light rain, 7°C, Feels like 3°C, Wind 40mph from S, gusting 70mph, visibility poor in cloud, good below. Walking with 4 other Scout Leaders getting walking experience on a day that was too poor to take young people out.

Superb ramble over from Sykeside campsite. Tough ascent but cooler today. Almost had the fell to myself. So peaceful. If only there were not so many bugs! Quite a few tarns up here. The pillar is very bonnie, sat upon a tough volcanic rocky outcrop. One of my faves now!

3 days visiting Birketts in the Eastern fells. East of Ullswater is one of my favourite areas in the Lakes and Place Fell pillar, perched high on a rocky outcrop is one of the best. Visited several times and prefer a S to N traverse. Parking is easier in Patterdale. This pillar is for all the rams who are doing what they are supposed to be doing at this time of year. It is tupping time and rainbow colours are displayed on the sheeps rear quarters. Bingo!!

Walked round most of Place Fell on about 450m contour. Saw a herd of c.15 deer on crag above Boredale Head. Deserted contour walking and popped up around Hare Shaw and walked up to pillar.

A lovely evening for a walk and my only regret was that I should have planned to bivouac. Went up via Birk Fell and down via Boredale Hause. The highlight of the night was as we were sat on the grass near The Knight when there was a galloping noise and the ground trembled..Next thing 3 large stags stampeded past very close to us before disappearing towards the sunset.On the top it was warm,no wind and great visibility. I just wanted to stop there all night

Old Man thought we were mad leaving Patterdale in cloud and hailstones, but optimism paid off as it all cleared just as we reached trig to reveal superb all-round views. Very cold so legged it pretty quickly to Sleet Fell and off end of ridge to Sandwick, then back along lakeshore in sunshine and wonderful autumn colours. Stone built; spider stamped JLC SEC (as Muncaster Fell but VC was clearly absent on this occasion!); no cap or plug and centre tube filled with concrete; NE s/hole open; otherwise vgc.

There seems to be a policy of commercial greed on the part of the local hotels and businesses in Patterdale regarding parking. Having apparently purchased adjacent spare land, day visitors are charged £4 or £4.50 to park, and face a charge of £75 to unclamp their vehicle if they do not comply. For folk refusing to succumb to such unwelcoming protection rackets, there is free parking in and around Patterdale for those prepared to seek it out. Followed RoW out of village via NY395161 to Side Farm. Routes up Place Fell are clearly mapped, approached summit from south. Stonebuilt secondary station pillar in good condition. Completed in April 1950 costing £33.17s.9d. Spider centre open but hole filled with concrete. Flush bracket faces 338° (NNW). Vented through NE sight hole. 360° panorama lost to low cloud and drizzle on day of visit. Met the Littlewoods on the way up here, by chance. Anybody who is anybody in trigging / hillwalking / climbing circles knows Sue & Trevor.

Another great Lakes trig. Stayed at Patterdale YHA the night before and walked up from there. The crowds dissapated after I left the coast to coast path. Met a couple with their 18 month collie Bryn on top. Walked on to take in 4 Birketts but bottled out of the last one as the heat was overpowering and there was no breeze. Dropped down to the Ullswater path and cooled off by dipping my feet in the lake.

Not the best of the Wainwrights, but pretty good nonetheless. Located on a point giving super views of Ullswater, the Patterdale valley and west towards the Helvellyn range. We ascended from Patterdale via Boredale Hause, crossed Boredale Beck at Garth Heads and returned to the Hause via Beda Fell, 9 miles of high winds and severe rain - nice! Trig is solidly built from local stone and looked in good condition considering the weather it must get.

Great place. Beware the lakeside path back to Patterdale from Sandwick, it contains the biggest thorn bushes I have ever seen, to my hands cost!

Climbed up from Patterdale on a lovely hot summers day. Bit of a slog up from boredale Hause to Round How as they were relaying the paths, and had left big sacks full of boulders in the way. It was a tricky scramble over the rocky summit up to trig for me as I only have short legs, but still made it with a helping shove up the bottom from my dad!

Fine rocky summit, great hill, lovely views, sunset was a bit of a washout - red glow. Up via Birk Fell (a possible new 500m summit I reckon). Easy rapid descent in time for the LDWA Hillwalkers Register annual dinner.
