Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Branstree (North East Top)
Angela Moroney walked up during July, 2000 [from/via/route] haweswater [with] JL
Kevin Foster climbed on April 19th, 2019 [from/via/route] Swindale Lane. [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny with very little breeze making it quite hot for walking. - Most people miss out this top taking the shortest route between Selside Pike & Branstree by following the fence. However, by crossing the fence at the col you can make a gentle five minute ascent over grass to the small cairn marking this subsidiary top on Branstree. The obvious path back towards Artlecrag Pike passes two small tarns & the old ordnance survey tower with glimpses of Haweswater reservoir below, a good place to stop & take photos.
