" The vast plateau is featureless and the domain of sadistic Duke of Edinburgh instructors, fell runners on the Sedbergh Wilson Run and the army. Walkers rarely visit, put off by grim warnings of bog and hard going. In other words Baugh Fell is perfect for some navigation training. The large expanse of fellside lies in Cumbria sandwiched between the elegant Howgills and the striking valleys of Garsdale and Upper Mallerstang; Wild Boar Fell is its twin peak.
The summit area has a number of tarns, a splendid vantage point and some striking views to the west in particular. Sheep tracks though will lead you astray and in to some of the wettest ground that you will come across in the Dales 30. I myself have not found Baugh Fell difficult all but legend has it that this is the boggiest fell around.
There is little doubt that the route from Rawthey Bridge has the most variety and is the most satisfactory. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Rawthey Gill (it really does feel you are in a lost world), finding the lonely shelter below Knoutberry Haw and then emerging on to the plateau near the summit. De wary near the summit that the splendid vantage point of Knootberry Haw (complete with trig) is not the highest point which lies 1km to the east"
