Kevin Whelan bagged 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 hiked 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 summited 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.

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!
