Crookdale Horseshoe | Flatfield | 20/04/2022 |
From A6 summit via High House Bank(qv for log). Continuing on the AW route across Crookdale Beck worked well- the bog alongside was more tricky than fording the beck but it was not wet on the fells. A rising traverse of the tussocky pasture to the wall off Yarlside worked well, followed wall to A6 summit via Whatshaw Common(qv for log). I was a bit pressed for time; had I not been, the horseshoe proper via Grey Crag and the Yarlsides looked superior to my walk- though it was enjoyable, on a fine day. | pwheeler | 05/03/2022 |

From lay-by on the A6 at NY 54832 02710. Took the lane north over High Borrow Bridge and up to a gate at NY 55217 04893, giving access to the open fell, though with a wall to tackle further up. Steep ascent onto High House Bank. Then followed the track along the ridge over Robin Hood up to Lord's Seat. Returned much the same way. Solo. 14.9km, with 685m of ascent. | Man of Kernow1 | 10/08/2021 |

From Bannisdale Fell - Long Crag involving leap over the lively Borrow Beck. I was convinced the high point was the Easterly of the 2 lumps where rock breaks through grass, grassy lump 10m SW was just lower (Abney both ways). | RichardM | 26/01/2020 |

From A6 memorial car park. High House Bank, Robin Hood, Lord's Seat, camped overnight at head of Crookdale. Continued to the two tops of Great Yarlside, then Little Yarlside, Whatshaw Common and Whatshaw Common E top. Pleasant hills, the ridge south of Crookdale much easier going underfoot. | RobertP | 16/02/2019 |

Crookdale horseshoe. | rhalstead | 01/04/2018 |
WOs 86-91; Bs 73-78. A good clear day with the sun coming through p.m. Drove to Shap summit and did a mixture of W's Wasdale and Crookdale horseshoes. Good path out over Whatshaw Common, Little Yarlside and Great Yarlside. The crossing of Crookdale was not as boggy as feared and a reasonable ascent to Lord's Seat with a good path over Robin Hood. Nasty bog to the foot of High House Bank, then good path along the ridge. Very unpleasant descent through tussocks and bog to the Hause Foot lane, then old road back to the summit. A good day. | BURGESS | 09/08/2017 |
AW's outliers fourth of six tops on the 8 mile Crookdale horseshoe. Whatshaw comman, Little yarlside, Great yarlside, Lords seat, Robin hood and finally High house bank. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 02/07/2017 |

Done with Richard T & Adrian W as part of a modified Crookdale Horseshoe Round taking in High House Bank, Robin Hood and the Lords Seat. Instead of heading down Crookdale Valley we crossed over to the Ridge to pass over Great Yarlside, Little Yarlside and Whatshaw Common back to the car on the A6 lay by. Weather misty and icy. | falunty | 28/12/2016 |

11.1 Mile walk from top of A6, walked down to Crookdale Bridge and straight up to High House Bank summit (Small cairn), along ridge onto Robin Hood (small cairn)and onto Lords Seats very featureless summit, followed ridge across a few bogs to Grey Crag then across big bog to Tarn Crag, back across to Harrop Pike cairn and along easy ridge to Great Yarlside's featureless summit down over pathetic knoll of Little Yarlside and onto boggy Whatshaw Common (no cairn), back down to pass. Nice day, started sunny then high cloud spilt in. Couldn't believe we didn't see anybody on a Sunday in the lakes! | DanTrig | 17/07/2016 |
A straightforward walk on a grassy track from Robin Hood. Misty conditions, but I assumed the Seat was the group of mossy boulders to the south west of the cairn. | JohnW | 22/03/2016 |
Parked at the end of the track/road to the SE. Through the gate along tarmac road then a good track then a grass track. Skirted the east side of Robin Hood - because of the weather - then easily to the summit. | destaylor | 13/11/2015 |
