very pleasant walk from kirkland church. 13km in just over 2.5 hrs. good path most of the way, but a few gaps and very wet bog! | Nicky C | 18/06/2022 |
Sue,Boo,Tash,Alex,Mike & I all spent a warm June afternoon avoiding the advancing Roma nation by going up from Kirkland at the bridleway and coming down from Teeshead via Grumply Hill back to Kirkland. Stunning views all around. | Alphaville199 | 04/06/2022 |

With John - parked at the church in Kirkland, then up the 'Pennine Journey' path, onto the ridge, along to Knock Old Man, then down the path to Milburn and back across fields to the car. 16 miles in all, but it would be a brave walker to set off on the direct route from Great Dun Fell back to Kirkland. Magnificent views from the summit - the best I've seen from any hill in England, so make sure it's a clear day if you're planning to do this. | Richard | 18/04/2022 |
On Pennine Way. Visited summit, trig and cairn. | PGCE | 17/04/2022 |

Revisit in fog with R & CJO after Catterpallot Hill. Stone windshelter at summit , trig nearby. Onto the (exposed) buried concrete ring 300m SE by 2m cairn before return to Hartside pass, latterly in darkness. | Denise | 14/11/2021 |
Revisit: Hartside On way to Cross Fell with Richard and Denise, ticking a couple of Tumps and Elmsie on the way. Still needs a revist to complete Elmsie. | cjo | 14/11/2021 |
