From viewpoint after doing Hell Gill and Great Knoutberry Haw. Carried tent up but warm night so slept outside in sleeping bag. Woken by an owl trying to land on me and the whizzing sound of snipe flying overhead.with Mart.John Eley24/06/2023
Solo from the potholed viewpoint/parking area off the A684 (SD 69418 91236). Knoutberry Haw (aka East Baugh Fell) & Baugh Fell - Tarn Rigg Hill. Tarmac to Garsdale Foot, then ascending with fence/wall to right.ADT23/04/2023
Perfectly frozen, sunny winter walk from the A684 car park, first following a snow trodden wall-side path/ATV track to Knoutberry Haw and Baugh Fell, then back to the camper for tea and toast before tackling the south side of Garsdale: another ATV track and snow trodden wall-side path to Aye Gill Pike. Around 5 hrs total. Will be much boggier in milder conditions.summitter14/12/2022
From large potholed car park at view point to the west. From High Fawes best to keep west of fence which joins the dry stone wall that goes past summit. Best atv track north of Ringing Keld Gutter.rogreeves17/10/2022

From Garsdale to Grisedale road on the way up to Scotland for Durisdeer raceJim T01/07/2022
From high point on road more or less due east of summit. Good parking and an initially good track, later a grassy track back to wall that continues along wall almost to top summit just over wall on south side. No obvious crossing point so did not climb wall so as not to cause any damage. I thought that 6 feet from cairn was near enough.dickscroop22/06/2022

Nuttall walk 11.2: Wild Boar Fell, Wild Boar Fell East Top, Swarth Fell, Swarth Fell Pike, Baugh Fell (Tarn Rigg Hill) , Knoutberry Haw. Very hard, often pathless walk on a beautiful March day. Parked on the raod, car surrounded by fell ponies.Lazylizzie26/03/2022
From East from parking area on minor road at SD776921. Followed track which becomes a quad bike track. It weaves about on the south side of the wall as far as SD748920, where you can step over the fence at the field corner. Continue west to summit along the north side of the wall. Boggy.geralddavison03/03/2022
From Garsdale Station, north along Coal Road, west along A684, take minor road at Clough Road, then north to Riggs. Follow rough 'Quad' track along fence line on White Mea, East Baugh Fell to Tarn Rigg Hill. Retrace steps slightly and descend to Coat Weggs plantation, descend through plantation to road (A684). Continue east to Dandra Garth, follow bridleway to Will's Hill, and along plantation wall to air shaft, through Dodderham Moss Plantation to Coal Road and down to Dent Station.raymooremanx30/09/2021
From the east starting at road HP 1km south of Grizedale. Followed a dirt track that soon became grassy but led along south side of fence and dilapidated wall about 500m to a metal gate. Track then deviates south of fence but rejoins at about 450m elevation and follows it to 660m elevation. About 800m from the summit I crossed to the north side of what then became a more substantial wall connected to similar walls leading south. It is not clear whether the summit is on the north or south side of the main wall but if a small cairn on the south side marks the summit, it cannot be reached without a careful wall scramble.Topographer5702/09/2021
From Garsdale Head station: out by a morass, back via the much easier road and noted the parking at the entrance to Grisedale.PhilipChaston29/08/2021
a right throbber. the ascent up from Ulsdale was long boring and tough. featureless pathsAristotle Chip28/08/2021
Circuit with Wild Boar Fell. Lots of tedious, tussocky terrain, fortunately drier than usual. Baugh Fell was a repeat, as uncertain of summit in previous ascent in 1987!govanah16/04/2021
Making most of dryer under foot conditions. Evening circular of 3 tops from Uldale. Bit of a slogconanharrod16/04/2021
Round from Uldale including Wild Boar Fell. Ascended via Rawthey Gill, which made for an interesting ascentRockdoctor02/04/2021
With Val. Rain throughout, poor visibility. Parked at viewpoint on A684. Walked to Garsdale Foot, track up hill. Just before track crosses stream and goes through a gate turned left onto another track. Followed uphill with fence line on right. This fence and wall was followed to Knoutberry Haw TP and onto Baugh Fell. Returned same route. Not bad underfoot except between the two summits where it was hard work in places. Possibly a good walk in better weather.mike.hoult18/08/2020

From Rawthey Bridge following the south side of the river. A hard slog but the waterfalls looked good after the recent rain. Onto Knoutberry Haw and BluecasterGary Heath25/05/2020
Parked near the viewpoint at the foot of Garsdale, and walked up by the fence / wall. Useful quad-bike tracks a lot of the way, finding route avoiding streams, peat hags etc.Peter_W_Mitchell 21/05/2020

Parked near Moorcock Inn, took 3.5 litres of water and drank the lot. Hot day on hill plus a slog. Not one I would repeat. Company: Soloiandesbottes15/05/2019
From the big car park to the West at SH204. Longer than anticipated from this side. After Knoutberry Haw it's a bit boggy and the summit reward is just a few stones.NormanW25/02/2019

Late afternoon run from the viewpoint car park. Mainly easy going on paths and thin grass helped by slight frozen turff. Nice sunset, chuffed with 40mins down from summit, last km in darkN.Morters13/12/2018

Wild camped at West Baugh Fell Tarn, walked over Knoutberry Haw then onto here. Cold wind but brightening up. Tried to have a look at the East Tarns but ground was too boggy to approach. Wonderful birdsong and a lot of voles about. Easy path down to Garsdale with excellent views.Jake99401/06/2017
From Uldale road end. Via River Rawthey and Rawthey gill. Returned across open moor from Knoutberry Haw, almost got stuck in bog. Fine day, ground very dry, apart from bog. Did not see another soul apart from H and sheep.johnkaysleftleg07/05/2017

From Rathay Bridge to Uldale House, up the path to where the gill forks and then up rathay gill until I had to break out onto the moor and head for the top of Tarn Rigg Hill (tough going and swampy). Followed the wall to Baugh Fell and then a surprisingly easy walk to West Baugh Tarn however the descent to Uldale House was rough going.reaper18/04/2017

From Uldale via the interesting Rawthey Gill. Nice easy walking on the top and surpringly dry, though worse on the long decent N back to Uldale.milimana09/10/2016
