Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Armboth Fell
David Higginbottom walked up Armboth Fell on January 30th, 2025 [from/via/route] Route 318 [with] Carolyn [weather] Clear but cold & icy - Nice walk , frozen boggy ground a bit slippy
Mr M A Blanchard climbed Armboth Fell on October 4th, 2024 [from/via/route] > [with] Ted, Florence, Millie and Woodie [weather] Dry cool
Sarah Wild bagged Armboth Fell on October 3rd, 2023 [from/via/route] Thirlmere road [with] Barney [weather] Sun & cloud - 4 today
Kevin Whelan hiked Armboth Fell on August 21st, 2023 [from/via/route] Used c318 from Armboth Car Park. Due to the partial closure around Thirlmere it took 3 attempts to find a road to get us there. Couldn't find the route through Fishercrag plantation so took the route to Watenladh next to it. Once past the treeline we cut across to Armboth Fell. [with] Charlie [weather] Showery & overcast - Very boggy as warned. The lack of clear paths was to become a theme of the day. By the time we had got to High Seat it turned truly biblical & after failing to locate Bleaberry Fell we beat a retreat to Thirlmere.
Dan Collins summited Armboth Fell on July 30th, 2023 [from/via/route] As part of c318 walk [with] Family (just the lads) [weather] Overcast & rainy - Very boggy & marshy on the top ridge. My right leg vanished into a bog at one point, much to the amusement of the kids. Descent from Raven crag is steep, & generally the main part of the walk was hard to navigate with limited pathways (I assume partly based on the extent of rain recently)
Geoff Hand conquered Armboth Fell on July 7th, 2023 [from/via/route] Nipped out to Watendlath on Friday afternoon & climbed up to High Tove, Armboth fell & back down to the farm very nice. Exciting drive to Watendlath. Must be one of the most remote NT spots around. Good to pick thse up after missing them earlier in the year. [weather] Warm muggy day.
Steve Lucas scaled Armboth Fell on October 18th, 2020 [with] On my own
Charlotte Hewson walked up Armboth Fell on June 3rd, 2023 [from/via/route] The base of raven cragg, Thirlmere, along the lake [with] Rosie [weather] Sunny! - Quick paddle in Thirlmere after
Christine Shepherd climbed Armboth Fell on October 4th, 2009 [from/via/route] Walked from Armboth using walk c318 [with] On my own [weather] Cloudy but good views - Very wet underfoot but a great walk. Climbed again on 23.9.19 & while trying to bag Bell Crags which I succeeded in doing two days later. Climbed again 21-04-21 on an eventful day which ended with a broken arm. Climbed again on 03.12.2022 I was delighted to take a direct route to this fell from the Armboth Carpark without getting my feet wet!
Ian Ashton bagged Armboth Fell on August 27th, 2022 [with] Jph [weather] Sunny
