Mark Davidson walked up Thorpe Fell Top on June 7th, 2005 [with] Alone [weather] Lovely & sunny - fantastic day.
David Congreave climbed Thorpe Fell Top on March 8th, 2014 [from/via/route] Embsay, via Crookrise Crag Top [with] Nephew (Jordan) [weather] Overcast, but dry & cool. - Have to veer off the path for a couple of hundred yards to find this one & then it suddenly appears out of nowhere. Would have found this one much harder to find without my GPS.
Christine Shepherd bagged Thorpe Fell Top on March 9th, 2014 [from/via/route] Walked from Embsay using walk ny124 [with] On my own [weather] A pleasant spring day - Unless you specifically want to bag this peak there isn't a lot to be gained from leaving the main path. The walk instructions give a grid reference for leaving the path to reach the trig point. Without a GPS it would be difficult to judge this exactly. If you want to reach the summit, leave the main path when you spot the bothy & be careful not to turn your ankles in the heather.
Chris Lund hiked Thorpe Fell Top on August 29th, 2013 [from/via/route] route ny124, Thorpe Fell from Embsay [with] Sophie [weather] Sunny day, very warm below low cloud cover - Pub in Embsay shuts at 3 mid-week, beware, only just got there at 2.50pm
