Richard Marchant bagged during August, 1989 [from/via/route] This was a two day trip with an overnight camp on top of High Street. The route took me from Penrith along High Street the old Roman Road to Windermere via the following Wainwrights. Loadpot Hill, Whether Hill, High Raise, Rampsgill Head, High Street, Thornthwaite Crag, Froswick, Ill Bell, Yoke and Sour Howes. [with] On my own for this trip [weather] Dry and fine weather but extremely windy overnight to a point that I thought my tent was going to be blown away, but alas it survived.
Paul Macey hiked on June 16th, 2019 [with] Luke Macey [weather] Windy light rain
Kevin Foster summited on May 17th, 2019 [from/via/route] Wether Hill. [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny and hot to begin with becoming cloudier later on with a cold northerly breeze. - A notable trig point now marks the top of Loadpot Hill. This must have been added since Wainwright wrote his books. Following on, over the summit, the track makes a gentle descent to Loadpot hole then branches left. A faint sheep trod just before reaching Bonscale Pike to the left drops steeply to the hamlet of Mellguards. Although direct it's torture on the calves and knees so carry a pair of trekking poles if you're planning to descend by this route.
