Visited on an afternoon / evening walk. Bannisdale horseshoe with extentions to High House Fell, Robin Hood, and Grey Crag. 18.5 miles. Nice to also bag this trig on the way, a nice summit.

Visited on the Bannisdale Horseshoe logging 8 Birketts. This pillar from afar looks typical stone built, but actually concrete and in good condition. I parked at Dryhowe Bridge, turn right over the bridge, thru a gate and parking for two cars immediately on your right. I think my vet can have this dedicated to her for "not missing a trick". Sixteen year old dog with dementia and she tried to flog me some drugs to help, which were not guaranteed to work. No flies on me.

Bagged as part of the Bannisdale Horsehoe. No parking opportunities, neither along the minor road, or at Dryhowe Bridge. Ended up parking at Watchgate ny528991. Beautiful weather, clear sky and plenty of daylight hours. On arriving at Dryhowe Bridge I walked uphill NE to junction of fences ny537021. From this point on the fence provides an excellent handline re navigation. Steady progress over The Forest eventually leads to White Howe trig. The spider is intact and on a clear day, like I experienced today, spectacular panoramic views. Spider intact. Glad I chose a recent dry spell in our weather to do this trig. The route across the peat haggs at Borrowdale Moss were surprisingly effortless as far as peat hagg walking goes. 20km and 6hours.

Started from Thorn cottage just off the A6 at the start of bridleway, Took bridleway to first gate then headed to the corner of the woodland and across Lamb Pasture following faint tracks directly towards White Howe. This route passes through several fence line gates and is very boggy in places.Weather a bit dull and windy.

Parked near the cattle grid ESE of pillar. Ascended Nab End and followed the high ground to the pillar. Excellent visibility made for a superb panoramic view with the Southern & Western Lake District fells, North Pennines, Howgills and Western Yorkshire Dales with Ingleborough just peeping over. Descended into the valley for the return.

Worth a gruelling Good Friday motorway trip - another Tebay foray staying on the Eastern Fells. Beautiful bounding hill viewed from afar on Tarn Crag walk a while back. Limited parking at Dryhowe then round to Bannisdale Head. Murky but beautiful as the hills lap around us. Brunt Knowl distantly visible.

Walked in from the east. Not another person around on these Eastern Fells (as usual) despite it being a summer Sunday. Lots of moorland flowers: tormentil, lousewort, bog asphodel, bedstraw, milkwort, bell heather, ling etc. Beautiful wide views across to the Central Fells and down to Morecambe Bay.

In passing on Bannisdale Horseshoe. Perfect weather for the walk, boggy bits largely frozen. Area at head of valley gives that 'wide open' feeling, rather unusual for the Lake District.
