My fourth Wainwright round of Pike O'Blisco and Lingmoor Fell from the ODG. More challenging and interesting were diversions en route to Wrynose Fell (Long Crag), Blake Rigg, Kettle Crag, Side Pike, and Oakhowe Crag along the way. Quite rough and often pathless ground. So only 16 km with 1100m ascent, but it still took me 8 hours to complete. A lovely sunny morning with stunning views of Bowfell et al, but a chill with low cloud and scattered showers came in during the afternoon.silveracorn_alan05/11/2023

The actual top is nice but I spoilt the day by going down to the north. This was bad as got into juniper and steep ground.Alan Moore24/05/2023

Quite the heather bashing experience but lovely little top once I'd made it over. Small cairn on top. Gorgeous views to the snowy higher mountains around. SoloFionalevey13/03/2021

Climbed from New Dungeon Ghyll via Blea Tarn and then on up to summit of Lingmoor. A lovely walk before Christmas but very cold. Amazing to have quiet Langdale valley although plenty of walkers out for the day, many pubs and hotels covid closed!nickywood124/12/2020
Good concealed parking spot for 1 car 40m E. of cattle grid at NY 2897 0510 - E. along road for about 350m, up RoW to col & then good path to stile at 297052 - Over stile & then NE on faint path which contours round to Lingmoor Tarn - Followed trod around N. end of tarn & then a short climb up to the summit rock & cairn.

15 degrees, glorious weather with Miranda. Just enough cooling breeze. Via nice rocky ascent of Side Pike, then adventurous path bypassing the crags. Good to be on an unfrequented summit in the middle of such a busy area. Picked up the path marked on the 1:25,000 map from the tarn on the way back.Wycombe Wanderer07/09/2019

From Blea Tarn car park - Lingmoor Fell, Oakhow Crag, then Side Pike, followed by a cold pint in the ODG, which looks as though it has not changed since we were last there in the mid-80s. Fab!summitter25/04/2019
