Christine Shepherd walked up on March 31st, 2008 [from/via/route] Climbed using walk c222 on 31.3.08 [with] with my daughter [weather] Cold with deep snow - Climbed again on 1.10.11 using walk c420.
Pete George climbed on May 2nd, 2022 [from/via/route] Coniston [with] Roco [weather] Overcast but dry
Kevin Foster bagged 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.
David Lord hiked on May 26th, 2017 [with] Debbie Lord [weather] Beautiful sunny day.
Richard Marshall summited on August 26th, 2021 [from/via/route] Various [with] Me and Roxy [weather] Sunny & warm
Andrew Flynn conquered on August 10th, 2021 [from/via/route] Coniston. Walk number 19. The Coniston Fells [with] Nicola [weather] Sunny
Jeremy Torrance scaled on September 25th, 2020 [from/via/route] Jon, Stu, Tim. Poor Ash was poorly. [with] Duncan and Johann
Clare Tait walked up on May 4th, 2021 [from/via/route] From Tilberthwaite along to Wetherlam Edge & down via Hole Rake. [with] Charlie [weather] Warm, blue sky, great walking weather - No 61 Wainwright. An amazing day on the fells. I think this will be one of my favourite tops. A four plane sonic fly past incredibly close as we walked upwards. I found Wetherlam Edge pretty challenging & was glad of another walker higher up shouting out the route. Thought I was going to get stuck a couple of times until I worked out the hand & foot holds. Tougher then anticipated, however it was managed. The views are fantastic from the top & the descent an absolute doddle.
Richard Wilkinson climbed on August 8th, 2020 [from/via/route] Old Man & Wetherlam [weather] Sunny day & rare escape during the Covid-19 pandemic. - Busy up the Old Man but then quiet around to Wetherlam.
Wayne Baxter bagged on April 28th, 2021 [from/via/route] From Coniston keeping right of the miners bridge, pass the red dell to Wetherlam. On the path pass swirl hawse & up prison band to Swirl How. Then onto Swirl band to Brim fell, onto Old Man & back to car in Coniston [with] Sue [weather] Cloudy & windy
