Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Robinson

Richard Marshall climbed on October 11th, 2020 [from/via/route] From Newlands church [with] Bo & Roxy and Andy Pratt [weather] Warm Sunny
Dave Eyes bagged on September 28th, 2020 [from/via/route] Parked at Littletown. Ascended up to the path between Catbells & Maiden Moor & walked along to High Spy. Travelled on to Dale Head Tarn & up the side to Dale Head. Continued round to Hindscarth & then back to the ridge walk & on to Robinson. Returned to Littletown along the back of Robinson [with] Christine Eyes [weather] Cloudy with strong wind & some rain & very wet under foot. Limited views. - Limited views.
Andrew Flynn hiked on August 8th, 2020 [from/via/route] c459 The Greater Newlands Horseshoe from Hawes End [with] Nicola [weather] Very very sunny - Ran out of water with approx 7 miles to go. A lot of lessons learnt that day.
Kevin Foster summited on March 16th, 2020 [from/via/route] Roadside parking west of Little Town. [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny with broken cloud. Cold northerly wind. - This fell is better tackled in ascent rather than descent due to a tricky scramble where High Snab Bank joins the mountain's northeast ridge. The summit has an interesting 'groove' between two rocky outcrops with a large pile of stones on the western outcrop. The views of the surrounding fells & lakes particularly southwards is impressive!
Christine Shepherd conquered on May 1st, 2006 [from/via/route] Walked from Littletown using walk 214 [with] Melissa and Richard on their first visit to the Lakes! [weather] Bright but chilly on top. - Climbed again as part of the 10 in 10 challenge on 22.6.19.

Simon Boddy walked up on September 18th, 2019 [from/via/route] Honister [with] HF Holidays [weather] Sunny & clear
Richard Marchant climbed on October 9th, 1988 [from/via/route] We parked at the NT car park at the base of Cat Bells. This walk was basically the Newlands Round although we didn't take in Hindscarth. We started with the ascent of Cat Bells & basically followed the ridge up to High Spy then dipped down before ascending Dale Head. With my Mum being a bit tired we missed Hindscarth out & carried on along the ridge to Robinson & then cut down in to the Newlands valley & worked out way back to the car. Another lovely memory for me. [with] Mum & Dad [weather] A fine day with no wind & wall to wall sunshine - Carried out the Newlands round horseshoe with my Mum & was taken during a weeks holiday in the Lakes with Mum & my Dad although I just went out walking up the mountains with my Mum as my Dad was not fit enough to join us. We stopped at a self catering cottage at Dockray. Probably the last holiday I had away from Dorset with my Mum & Dad,
Craig Steeland bagged on June 27th, 2019 [from/via/route] From top of Honnister PAss [with] With Sue [weather] Sunny, warm & dry
