Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Barf

Christine Shepherd walked up Barf on July 31st, 2009 [from/via/route] Used walk c183 from Whinlatter Forest Park [with] On my own [weather] Fine until late afternoon - Climbed again while bagging Ullister Hill on 21.6.19. Had a third visit on 12.6.21 & a fourth on 24.07.23

Geoff Hand climbed Barf on July 13th, 2023 [from/via/route] WalkC183. Lords Seat & Greystones from Whinlatter Forrest Park. Set out from Whinlatter Forest Park via Combe Beck & Beckstone Plantation & then popped out onto the hill & upto Barf [with] Tess (Jack Russell) [weather] Windy day with high cloud & sunny intervals.

Steve Lucas bagged Barf on August 28th, 2022 [with] On my own

Rob Prikanowski hiked Barf on June 5th, 2023 [from/via/route] c183 [weather] Sunny & warm.

Paul Roddam summited Barf on April 6th, 2023 [with] Tom, Barb [weather] Sunny

Diane Edgar conquered Barf on October 28th, 2021 [from/via/route] Ascent from Thornthwaite [with] Gil [weather] Mostly dry very windy on the tops! - Ha dto hide from the forestry commission! Was quite disappointed that the white statue Barfs Bishop isn't actually a horse & is shaped more like a toad!

Chris Graham scaled Barf on September 28th, 2022 [from/via/route] Whinlatter Centre to Barf Fell & Lords Seat. [with] Wife [weather] Sunny & fresh breeze - Could I point out that the direction in Whinlatter forest is a bit obscure?. At Postion 8 on the map ,the path should indicate Barf Fell to the right ; if you carry straight on it will lead you up to Lords Seat. Personally I find this the better route as the other to Barf Fell is really "boggy".

Ian Ashton walked up Barf on September 17th, 2022 [with] Jph

Clare Tait climbed Barf on August 11th, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked opposite Swan Hotel. Took route which avoids "The Bishop" [with] Charlie [weather] Very warm & sunny. Needed to commence the route early to avoid the heat. - Our no 82 Wainwright. Completed with Lords Seat. Wasn't feeling the love for this hill in the heat. Steep path with loose material. Bit of a slippy scramble over a very small ghyll. Flying ants & insects everywhere.

Paul Macey bagged Barf on July 29th, 2022 [from/via/route] C183 [with] Luke [weather] Sunny intervals/high cloud
