As I had already repeated Sleddale Pike, I used the high-level bridleway for the ascent, via Ulthwaite Rigg. In retrospect, not a sensible decision. | David Purchase | 15/05/2019 |

Set off for The Wet Sleddale Horseshoe but only managed the two due to foot injury and weather. Ullthwaite Rigg will have to wait another day. Managed Sleddale Pike and Great Saddle Crag. Tough walking on the terrain which from setting off apart from a section of track is long tussocky grsss and heather and plenty of water in the boots | Wayne Mac | 24/03/2019 |

WOs 92,93,94 and 95. Bs 79.80,81 and 82. A hard day. Easy walk by path and track from the dam to the Lunch House, then very rough and boggy going up stream to Gray Bull. Drier but rough and heathery over Sleddale Pike, Wasdale Pike, Great Saddle Crag and Ulthwaite Rigg with little of interest. Back along very boggy Mosedale bridleway and even boggier path around reservoir. Sunny all day but was it worth it? | BURGESS | 10/08/2017 |

much easier dropping onto it from above rather than contouring.Can anyone throw any light on the plethora of track-laying vehicle tracks. Seems a bad idea for the sphagnum cover. | iredale | 31/03/2014 |
Not too bad to reach this one, but what in God's name are all the track-laying vehicles doing up here? Surely there is no pecuniary benefit from exploiting this? | iredale | 30/03/2014 |

Quite a tiring slog from Gt Yarlside-2 through sometimes deep snow and around peat hags. Pretty insignificant hill, the one just S looks better. | Aye Jimmy | 30/03/2013 |
