Chris Sheard climbed on September 30th, 2019 [from/via/route] Circular from Hartsop dodd and round Thornthwaite Crag via the mouth [with] George [weather] Quite nice to start then cool with mist then very wet in midpart of day with with variable winds - Managed a nice walk in good then rainy conditions

Richard Beardsley bagged on September 20th, 2019 [from/via/route] Route C231 from Hartsop. [with] Gillian. [weather] Clear, fine and a beautiful sunny day for late September. - Parked car at Cow Bridge car park. (donation into box). Commenced at 0945hrs. and stuck to the route apart from not visiting the top of Cauldale Head to take in the views. The good weather certainly brought out individual groups of walkers so we were not alone. Arrived back to the car at 1515hrs. After a thoroughly enjoyable day.

John Bryers hiked on August 1st, 2019 [from/via/route] Parked at Cow Bridge, Hartsop. Up Hartsop Dodd and across to Caudale Moor via Stony cove Pike. Round Caudale Head to John Bells Banner, Pike How and St Raven Edge to Kirkstone Inn. Across road and up Red Screes in the heat of the day! A bite to eat and along to Middle Dodd and down to Scandale Pass. Up and across to Little Hart Crag and High Hartsop Dodd. Down steep front edge of High Hartsop Dodd to Dovedale Beck and on past Brothers Water to car at Cow Bridge with a total of 9.3 miles with 3,896 feet of elevation gained. [with] With Mya my faithful 12 year old Patterdale Terrier. [weather] Weather fine but overcast on ridges early in walk, clearing by lunch time to some lovely warm sun and great views.

Kevin Foster summited on May 28th, 2019 [from/via/route] Hartsopp Dodd. [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny and hot becoming cloudier later on with a cold northerly breeze. - The wall can be followed down to the col and then virtually to the summit of Stony Cove Pike which lies some 25 metres or so to the left of the wall. John Bell's Banner the alternative but slightly lower top can be seen over to the right but it is a good way there and back over the vast moor. Wainwright recommends keeping to the Threshwaite side of the wall, there is no real path to follow but the views are worth it if you stick with it. Just a few metres South of the summit cairn is a rocky knoll with a fantastic panorama of the Southern Lake District in particular Lake Windermere, Morecambe Bay and out towards the Irish sea.

Elaine Evans conquered on May 2nd, 2019 [from/via/route] From car park at Hartsop, ascended steeply up to Hartsop Dodd, continued to Stony Cove Pike, followed path and descended to cull then up to Thornthwaite Crag and on to Gray Crag before returning to Hartsop. Similar route to c231. [with] Sue [weather] Mostly dry, warm in some places but also a welcome cool breeze at times. Rained for last 10 minutes of walk but still quite pleasant. - Missed you CJ! One of our best walks, helped enormously be the favourable weather conditions and clear visibility.
