Caroline Winter summited Black Fell (Haresceugh Fell) on August 19th, 2021 [from/via/route] A686/Hartside Cross CP, fence line to Black Fell [with] Becky [weather] Drizzly, low cloud on top - CP Great spot of surrounding landscape & road a bikers paradise. Straight forward walk to reach top
Kevin Foster conquered Black Fell (Haresceugh Fell) on May 15th, 2018 [from/via/route] Thack Moor (Renwick Fell) [with] Henry [weather] Sunny (more cloudy later) - I loved this next section of the walk along the ridge eastwards over the 'minor' summit of Watch Hill & on towards Black Fell. There was such a feeling of 'open space', the walking on grass was fairly easy & the views particularly to the SW of the Lakeland skyline were just superb. Elsewhere Cross Fell, Cold Fell & Grey Nag stood out & I could even make out Criffell in Scotland across the Solway Firth.
Christine Shepherd scaled Black Fell (Haresceugh Fell) on March 5th, 2017 [from/via/route] Walked from Hartside Cafe using walk c337. [with] On my own [weather] A fine spring day - I walked up Grey Nag & Tom Smith's Stone Top using walk 114 but decided not to continue across the bog to this fell. I drove to Hartside & walked straight up from there. I am so glad I did. The path was good, route finding easy & to top it all I watched the sun set over snow capped Lakeland peaks on the way down.

Iain Taylor climbed Black Fell (Haresceugh Fell) on September 3rd, 2012 [from/via/route] Hartside Cross (NY 64640 41858)
Ray O'hara has bagged Black Fell (Haresceugh Fell) [from/via/route] From Grey Nag & Tom Smith's Stone Top [weather] Overcast - The bog on the ridge between Tom Smith's Stone & Black Fell is by far the worst that I have ever encountered. The ridge from High Seat to High Tove that Alfred Wainwright wished on his worst enemy is a walk in the park by comparison. Do this one in winter when the ground is frozen, not at the end of the wettest summer on record.
