Parking at Wet Sleddale reservoir - 'wet' is highly appropriate, only the very summits provided any semnlance of 'dryness'. Sleddale Hall, Scam Matthew, then almost trackless purgatory commenced - Ullthwaite Rigg, Tongue Rigg, Sleddale Pike, Wasdale Pike, Hazel Bank, Long Fell, quarry road, A6, Shap Lodge, track back to reservoir. After Scam Matthew intermittent ATV and An Tx provided a little relief from the interminable boot wrecking toody blussock grass. Having descended the quarry road, a sign says there is no public access (but it was a Sunday, so unoccupied), Only after having negotiated the bog to get onto it , a sign says that there is no public access along the cart track back to the reservoir, even though it is within an Open Access area. | Isbjorn | 27/08/2020 |

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 |

Done with Richard T & Stuart W + dogs as part of the Wet Sleddale Horseshoe, also taking in Great Saddle Crag & Ulthwaite Rigg. Weather was cloudy with moderate visibility and a very cold 17mph wind. It's in the name the conditions under foot were very wet and boggy making for a tough slog. | falunty | 20/12/2016 |
