With David. These two hills have the rare distinction of being the only hills big and important enough to make it into the ranks of Lake District Nuttalls while at the same time seeming small and marginal enough for Wainwright to have overlooked them until he got around to his Outlying Fells volume. They do certaily seem like tiny insignificant little pimples set beside the bulk of Dow Grag but they make a nice easy walk on the edge of the Coniston Fells. The obvious way is just to follow the Walna Scar Road from Coniston. But I was staying at the WIlson Arms in Torver and the temptation was too great to just lkeave the car where it was an follow the footpath sign pointing north out of the car park. This took us tob the entrance to High Torver Park then right and on along a very pleasant track past an old quarry and the Tranearth climbing hut (property of the Lancashire Climbing and Caving Club) to a bridge over the beck. we crosed this and carried on past another old quarry this one graced with a rather impressive waterfall to meet up with the Walna Scar Road which we followed to the top of the pass. From here it seems a ridiculously short and easy stroll up to the top of Walna Scar and from there again a very easy walk took us to White Maiden. Down the same way.
