With Val. From lay-by on the A5092. Quarry track to start with then a good path up to the northerly wind turbine and along track to the large cairn which marks the summit. Clear weather and fantastic views. A better hill than expected. | mike.hoult | 26/08/2021 |

Train to Kirkby-in-Furness then Lowick High Common (rough going across moor due to bracken & heather), Combs, Gt Burney, Blawith Knott and Tottlebank Height. walked out to Water Yeat and caught bus to Coniston and on to Kendal.
