Route: Leaving the car parked just over the river at the bottom of 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: a delightfully sunny day with cloudless sky but a cold wind.
Pub: the Watermill, Ings for Watermill Wruff Night and Windermere Blonde.
