Had intended to come along ridge from Grisedale Pike but couldn't get up there due to high winds. Instead dropped down into valley to W and climbed up from there. Ridiculous winds on the top - had to crawl on hands and knees to get to the summit.Wheelsy10/03/2019

After a lovely morning, a cold fog dropped, making this walk a little more difficult. I set off from the Hobcarton car park on the Whinlatter Pass and headed for Ladyside, then up to Hopegill Head, Hobcarton Crag and Grisedale Pike. Came back via Hobcarton End.oldbagger2710/01/2018
Parked in FC car park at Revelin Moss (£8 all day). Up the ridge using Wainwright's Grisedale Pike ascent page 9, still accurate and useful after over 50 years. Lovely ridge walk on good path through heather once out of forest. Bagged all cairns and also heather knoll of Black Crag which has great views west down the valley over Swinside Houses. Didn't meet anyone until top of Grisedale Pike. Then on to do more Wainwrights and Birketts.Hillsidenick02/09/2017

From Ladyside Pike via Hobcarton Gill en route to bus from Whinlatter centre.Eddie05/10/2016
From Whinlatter Pass road - blocked for road works but found a spare lay-by. With Penda. 1100-1515, initially via Nutalls' directions which soon went to worms due to new cycle tracks and forestry work. Up shoulder of Grizedale Pike but turned off just before top onto Hobcarton End ridge. Down through forestry chaos to find van was now on wrong side of road-block... quite a flog of a walk. But LAST English Nutall excepting Pillar Rock! Sunny, dry and cool all day.beorwulf20/09/2016
