Richard Fulcher walked up on July 10th, 2021 [from/via/route] Walked up from the NT car park at Honister Slate mine via the Bothy (which bothy?) to photograph the late evening light kissing the fells. Didn't quite work out that way as the heavens opened about 7pm & I got soaked to the skin. Had to hurriedly retreat back to the car. [weather] Sun, cloud, low cloud & then torrential rain!

Kevin Foster hiked on May 14th, 2021 [from/via/route] Honister Pass (slate mine). [with] By myself. [weather] Low clouds down on tops gradually lifting. - Not the most obvious route to bag this mountain. A tough descent from Kirk Fell into Ennerdale and then back out again via the path alongside Loft Beck followed by a detour round Haystacks before climbing on a diagonal path from Dubs Quarry to the summit cairn of Fleetwith Pike. Great views down Buttermere made it all worth while though.
