| 4th of 8 hills on a 10 mile linear walk with Carole Engel. From Halls Lane (SD 4735 9993, room for 1 car), to loop layby on A6 (NY 5475 0250). Chatted with friendly farmer at Murthwaite Farm. From Sleddale Forest, on to Whiteside Pike. | jonglew | 30/11/2017 |
| Didn't fancy the long return road walk from Longsleddale car park so drove up to roadside parking at the end of the Mosergh Road (alt 218m). From here a signposted bridleway leads down a lane then across some fields to a wall south of the summit. Fom here a cross field walk to the trees. Don't cross the first fallen wall as this will lead you through a dense clump of firs, wait until a gap in the wall just before the summit. Much easier!. 3.23km return, 40 minutes, 103m ascent. | moorsman | 27/10/2017 |
| With Anna during walk from Garnett Bridge. Handy gate near top saved some wall climbing! | citygent | 28/03/2017 |

| Round of Synges / W OFs bottom of Longsleddale - Ulgraves, Potter Fell x 2, Sleddale Forest, Murthwaite Knott - 10.3 miles, 2528ft ascent. To avoid the Longsleddale parking problem I left the car in the layby on the A6 at SD526,989 - only added a mile to the walk. | Crib Goch | 21/03/2015 |
| Had to park in passing place about 200m SE of farm. Bridleway runs past Murthwaite up to and through gate by wood below open fell. Over to R 40m is metal lid with 'Hawes Aqueduct' on it. In wall on L is most unusual stile into amazingly mogulled field. Ignored this, followed wall steeply up the hill then left to top. Summit on knoll just inside wood. Stile or use gate just before high point. | Aye Jimmy | 10/03/2015 |
| From road SW of top. Cairn just NW of highest point is great viewpoint of longsleddale | briandiggle | 27/12/2014 |
