Water Crag and Rogans Seat from track along william gill. | robertphillips | 24/11/2023 |
From Keld: Rogan's Seat and Water Crag. Easy walk past Crackpot Hall on broad grouse tracks. Path to Water Crag by the fence was faint and very boggy. Extremely poor visibility, freezing fog throughout the day. Returned the same way due to the poor conditions. | Lazylizzie | 28/10/2023 |

After pint in the Tan Hill | conanharrod | 07/04/2022 |
From Keld/Kisdon. Big snow showers came in on way up. Really cold on way down. Went up side valley from Swinner Gill leading to Hind Hole Beck as a short cut. Not much of a path, but really secluded valley. Recommended, but came back the long way via East Grain. 
 
Due to snow couldn't escape back to Cumbria from Keld by car via Buttertubs - had to reverse and only just escaped over pass to Kirby Stephen. | davechaffey | 03/02/2022 |

Plenty of roadside parking in Muker. Track near enough all the way, following the River Swale then up Swimmer Gill, track not overly easy to follow up here, gets a bit scrambly in places. Then good shooting road. | jonglew | 15/10/2019 |

Outstanding route from Muker through the meadows, along Swaledale and up Swinner Gill before heading along shooting tracks to close to the summit then across to Water Crag a la Nuttalls but went back down the same way. Just over 4 hours round trip. | clivevilla | 11/09/2018 |

Pretty much as per Nuttall's 11.3, though messed up by crossing Gunnerside Gill too early which added unnecessary effort onto an already long day. | milimana | 18/04/2018 |
Keld - Pennine Way to Catrake Force - West Wood - Crackpot Hall (Ruin) - Swinner Gill Lead Mines (Ruins)- rose onto moor along East Grain (recently repaired path thanks) - then Coast to Coast path - taking the buff coloured track just past the C to C double headed sign heading for summit past the High Man Stone - Rogan Seat summit- then overshot to follow fence (Snowy drifts /low cloud) to bag trig on Water Crag. Retraced our snowy footprints back to the track and returned whence we came. | briandavies | 18/02/2018 |

Rogan's Seat and Water Crag. More or less followed route 11.3 from the Nuttall's book with the exception of going up to Crackpot hall (which still has a pan on the cooker even though it was abandoned in 1953) and also, on the way down I didn't notice the instructions to keep below “Lord Peel's shooting cabin” but I found another path that took me down to Blakethwaite Lead Mines and crossed the river there. Grouse shooting was going on at Swinner Gill and there were dead grouse on the track, one of which was not as dead as the others which I didn't like. Had lunch in the shooting hut at GR NY 922024 (thanks for leaving it unlocked, Lord Peel's cabin was locked). Had just become dark when I eventually got back to Muker. | tsharp | 10/01/2017 |
