Simon Myerscough bagged it on August 23rd, 2025 [from/via/route] C231 - From Hartsop found a farmers field to park for £5 just as you go into the village. Steep start up onto the ridge on Hartsop Dodd. Had dinner at Thornthwaite Crag, decide to stay high onto High Street to bag Brock Crags [with] Joanne [weather] No wind & quite warm
Pete George hiked Brock Crags on August 23rd, 2025 [from/via/route] Martindale [with] Roco [weather] Lovely warm & clear.
Geoff Hand summited on July 16th, 2025 [from/via/route] C159 Walked from Martindale church down to Dalehead, upto Angletarn & Brock Crags, onto the Nab, Rest Dodd (no rest!) onto the Knott, then Kidsy Pike (realised I had already climbed this several years ago). From there it was straight up High Raise. From here, because I had parked in the wrong place I headed back over Pikeawassa & down to the church. Great day [with] none [weather] Started off a bit dull & overcast but cleared to a pleasent sunny afternoon. - Lots of wildlife: Hawks, deer, badger & strangely a wasps nest in the cairn on High raise.
