Route: Leaving the car parked on the upper road in Troutbeck and taking Robin Lane round to the south of the fell, keeping with the lower track round to High Skelghyll. On entering the wood, taking a path rising diagonally eventually to reach the observatory and the ridge to the summit. Thence down the main path back to Troutbeck.
Conditions: Initially low cloud giving way to brighter skies and clear views.
Pub: The Mortal Man, Troutbeck for iffy pints of Loweswater Gold.
