Other walkers who hiked, climbed, bagged and summited Blea Rigg Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Blea Rigg

Angeline Grieveson walked up Blea Rigg on February 26th, 2023 [with] Dotty

Paul Roddam climbed Blea Rigg on February 4th, 2023 [from/via/route] Grasmere [with] Bri and Barber [weather] Cloudy but fairly dry with decent visibility

Richard Fulcher bagged Blea Rigg on October 2nd, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked in the layby on the A591 opposite a footpath down to Grasmere. Set off through Grasmere & the Easedale Road & then followed the bridle path to Stythwaite Steps, turned left up Stenners Crag & then left up Greathead Crag & on to Tarn Crag. From there we followed a stream up to Codale Head. I continued on up to High Raise (because it was there!) & then joined Jen at Sergeant Man. We then descended down & across to Blea Rigg. The descent from Blea Rigg was initially tricky (probably went the wrong way) but became more manageable as we reached Easedale Tarn. The walk from the tarn & back to the car was on well made paths (Lakes style i.e. boulders) & was a slog! [with] Jen [weather] Sunshine & showers, occasional gusts of wind. At times I was hot, freezing cold, battered by wind & then sometimes no wind & just right! - A tiring but rewarding walk.

Martyn Atherton hiked Blea Rigg on March 14th, 2022 [from/via/route] c206 Blea Rigg, Sergeant Man, High Raise, Thunacar Knot, Pavey Ark, Harrison Stickle, Pike of Stickle & Loft Crag [with] Self [weather] Dry & cloudy ath first then sunny & then raining - A really good & varied walk

Ian Ashton summited Blea Rigg on February 21st, 2022 [with] Solo

Geoff Hand conquered Blea Rigg on January 27th, 2022 [from/via/route] Walk c144 Sergeant Man from Grasmere. [with] Alone with Tess [weather] Broken cloud & sun, showery, getting clearer as day went on. - Unfortunately main thing which will remain in my mind about thid walk was trapping my finger in the car rear door just as I was setting off! Lots of pain, blood & confusion for most of the walk.

Richard Marchant scaled Blea Rigg on January 4th, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked the car alongside the A591 just along from the Black Swan in a roadside lay-by used by walkers. Then walked straight into Grasmere then out of it on the Easedale Road leading to a footpath alongside Easedale Beck & on to Easedale Tarn. From the Tarn cut up North on past Greathead Crag & then followed the ridge up to Tarn Crag & on to Codale Head then round to Sergeant Man. From here it was Southeast direction following the ridge to Blea Rigg & on to Silver How & back down into Grasmere. [with] Solo [weather] Clear cold frosty day with a dusting of snow on the tops.

Carl Tillotson walked up Blea Rigg on July 24th, 2021 [from/via/route] c144 route with High Raise added [with] June [weather] Slightly cloudy, warm day.

Richard Marshall climbed Blea Rigg on July 16th, 2021 [from/via/route] Sergeant Man & others [with] Me, Bo and Roxy [weather] Sunny very Hot

Damian Gourlay bagged Blea Rigg on June 22nd, 2021 [from/via/route] Grassmere walk c144 tarn cragg [with] Lee Grist [weather] Sunny - Great walk real leg burner, showing my age. Hope this gets easier
