9 of 9 starting on a6 car park. Straight over from wasdale. Saw a herd of deer down by the half felled forest | The-Z-Man | 17/04/2022 |
From Shap summit on pleasant spring day. The track just to the north of the memorial swings right to the mostly felled plantation and then a faint path by the side of the plantation takes you to Wasdale Beck. Over that choose your own ascent route. With Oscar. | catman | 27/03/2022 |

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 |

A combination of Crookdale and Wasdale horseshoes from from the A6 layby. Taking the bridleway down to Crookdale Bridge then: Hazel Bank, High House Bank, Robin Hood, Lord's Seat, Harrop Pike, Wasdale Pike, Great Yarlside (both summits), Little Yarlside and Whatshaw Common. Winter solstice, a 12 mile walk on the shortest day. Terrible visibility, in cloud all day. Did last hour in the dark with head torches. | Lazylizzie | 21/12/2019 |
From A6 monument, day deterioted to low visibility and heavy rain | cjo | 07/12/2019 |

Parked at quarry entrance. Skirted round to pick up old track to interesting farm ruins then continued on over fords and up to top. With Bryher. | jenx | 19/05/2019 |
Boggy and not particularly inspiring walk from Long Fell but the summit a pleasant enough perch to end the day. Found my way through very wet ground to track back to quarry. No Keep Out signs in this direction - back to car no probs. | Wycombe Wanderer | 15/10/2018 |
Parked in layby NE side quarry entrance. Near enough direct line to here, but keeping to the sl;ightly higher ground as ground to N side Wasdale Beck very wet. On to Wasdale Pike. | jonglew | 04/08/2018 |
From Wasdsle Pike, on way back to A6 | rfoster | 30/04/2018 |
ith Bryher, parking at Quarry access in lay by on main road. Up to the old land to Wasdale Head farm, followed track around Hazel Bank, contoured through the bog like fellside to near the col below Long Fell. Up its West flank to mast and then the modified soil piled top. Not sure this high point will be here for long as quarry working encroaches. Down track and hillside back to start | nordicstar | 04/12/2017 |
From Long Fell top, SW down by fence to flooded gate on old farm track (no path). Suggest approach this top from NE ridge on faint grass path just after crossing the 2 becks on the farm track. We approached top from north, but long tufty grass and very boggy. Boring top with no feature, wish I had had the foresight to bring some granite rocks from Pink quarry to make a cairn. Highlight of walk was the delightful ruined farmhouse at Wasdale Head (elevenses and lunch here in the sun). | Hillsidenick | 05/11/2017 |
From Hazel Bank. With Eire, Evan, Sail, Danu, Coel & Alfie. | Dangerous Dave | 23/04/2017 |

With Long Fell. | jimbloomer | 15/08/2015 |
Parked in the lay-by alongside the A6 at an altitude of 1404ft.This meant that the summit is 3ft below the starting height. However it does involve a gentle descent and ascent to the summit which has to be repeated on the return journey. A total of just short of 400 ft ascent in total. Quite a straightforward outing on a fine day. | moorsman | 18/06/2015 |
Whatshaw Common East Top, Hazel Bank and Long Fell from large layby on A6 by memorial. Spooked a herd of about 30 deer in Wasdale bottom. Wasdale Beck is fast flowing but can be jumped if you find the right spot. | Crib Goch | 14/03/2015 |
Followed 2 red deer down and over from Wasdale Pike. | Nick Caunt | 11/04/2014 |
Very foggy. Visibility of metres | mcbiydw2 | 19/02/2014 |
With Jo, circular walk from A6 Summit: Whatshaw Common East Top, Hazel Bank, To Stone or to’ther, Long Fell, descending along road through Shap Pink Quarry (Granite) to A6, then bridleway over Wasdale Old Bridge with a visit to Packhorse Hill. Weather; high intermittent cloud, sunny intervals, warm, very good visibility. | amblerbob | 14/08/2013 |
Descending from Wasdale Pike, end of circuit from Shap summit carpark, included Whatshaw, Gt Yarlside and Gt Saddle. Herd of deer seen on snowy summit. | Aye Jimmy | 30/03/2013 |
Linear route -3 Synges above A6 with Darren. Lovely pink granite rock specimens collected from Shap 'pink quarry' on way out (from where I had first collected samples on a geology trip as a school boy -still have one of them!) The ruined Wasdale Head farmhouse is made of impressively fine blocks of this granite . | Chris Pearson | 15/07/2007 |
3/3 From Shap Summit, across the rough to Thorny Bank then back to the nearby Stone Cairn, heading North West to pick up Bridleway which comes out at A6 slightly East of the quarry. Cross A6 straight up RHS of quarry boundary fence to the summit. Gorgeous light here today, in the sunshine, snow with whips of cloud clearning. Down and up to Hazel bank following a herd of about 100 deer. Mice all over the place in the snow too. Then down East up beside trees and picked up the old rail line back to the car. A lovely snowy round. Frozen ground helps. 4 hours. | nickywood1 | blank |
