Christine Shepherd bagged Little Mell Fell on April 24th, 2010 [from/via/route] Used walk 309 from Brownrigg Farm. Walked up this fell on another glorious day 11.04.2021. Just went up & down. Climbed again from the Camp Site using walk 380 on 8.6.22 [with] On my own [weather] Fine - Enjoyed the walk up Great Mell Fell but bagging this one wasn't as easy as a man with two large dogs prevented me from 'going up a drive to meet a road'. He said he didn't want the 50 yards of his drive to become a right of way! Had to go a mile or so out of my way to get to the road.
