I parked at the Geltsdale Nature Reserve car park just south of Clesketts. A track continues south past a cottage at Tortie and a bunch of cottages at Howgill. Here I went left and then right to pick up the Bruthwaite trail which leads to a viewpoint some way below the ridge between Currick and Cold Fell. The track carries on towards Currick but I left it to cross the Howgill Beck just above a waterfall. From here it is a rough bogtrot on pathless ground to the summit where there is a trig point a cairn and a rough shelter. A path heads NE towards Currick. Perhaps if one went this way one could have a path underfoot the whole time but I cut the corner returning more directly to the Bruthwaite viewpoint and so home.
