Christine Shepherd walked up on July 31st, 2007 [from/via/route] I walked along the Walna Scar Road to climb Brown Pike before taking in five of the Coniston Fells [with] On my own [weather] A gloriously clear, sunny day - This was a wonderful day's walking. I didn't want it to end! Also climbed with Rebecca using walk c222 on 31.3.08 Climbed this peak again on 1.10.11

Geoff Hand climbed on April 20th, 2022 [from/via/route] Walk c179 The Seathwaite Round Pt2 Brim Fell, Swirl How, Great Carrs & Grey Friar [with] Alone with Tess [weather] Another glorious sunny & warm day (ridiculous for this time of year!) - Second part of 2 goes at this walk. upto Seathwaite tarn, on to Goat's Hawse then on to Brim Fell, Swirl How, Great Carrs & Grey Friar. Great day out.

Mr M A Blanchard bagged on November 16th, 2021 [weather] Cloudy

Kevin Foster hiked on September 6th, 2021 [from/via/route] Low Tilberthwaite. [with] By myself. [weather] Cloudy. Summits mostly covered. Good visibility on lower slopes. - An interesting route onto Wetherlam via Steel Edge. The one Wainwright doesn't mention in his books for some reason? Don't know why because it's a cracking way up. Sadly on Prison Band the cloud level was reached & the rest of the walk was view less. Of interest on route was the war memorial & Halifax bomber crash site between Swirl How & Great Carrs. The views opened up again on the descent of wet side edge & the clouds & sunshine poking through made for some great photos. I climbed Swirl How a few days later (17th) via the Coppermines valley & Levers water in glorious sunshine & this time got the amazing views I missed the week previous.
