Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Dollywaggon Pike
Caroline Winter walked up on September 22nd, 2021 [from/via/route] Steel Fell CP, Seat Sandal opposite Dunmail Raise, Grizedale Tarn, Dollywaggon Pike, Raise Beck, CP [with] Solo [weather] Last day of good weather this week, wind picking up to 30mph on descent - Found myself walking on a good track (not on map), going up Seat Sandal, rather than staying with Raise Beck. Lovely descent of the beck with waterfalls. Watched couple making a difficult & slow direct descent from DW.
Richard Marshall climbed on August 26th, 2021 [from/via/route] Various [with] Me and Roxy [weather] Sunny & warm
Paul Ward bagged on April 26th, 2016 [from/via/route] Started from Wild Campsite near Hartsop [with] Jamie
Martin Woods hiked on June 6th, 2021 [from/via/route] From Patterdale - Birks to Fairfield round to Hellvelyn & down to Glenridding [with] Ackers and Crush [weather] Sun, 22 deegrees v.little breeze
Angela Haworth summited on March 25th, 2002 [from/via/route] From Thirlspot return via Dollywagon Pike, Grisdale Tarn - Dunmail Raise [with] companion [weather] Dry - Broke leg between Grisdale Tarn & Dunmail Raise - walked myself to the road.
Sarah Culverhouse conquered on September 18th, 2020 [from/via/route] Glenridding [weather] glorious sunshine
Sarah Hamer scaled on August 20th, 2020 [from/via/route] Glenridding - parked up & took on Nethermost Pike, Dollywaggon Pike & Birkhouse Moor - Striding Edge - near meltdown [with] Chris Hamer, David May and Maddie [weather] Started off sunny & 17 degrees - wind got up & on the top it was really blowing, a little shower but once away from the tops the wind dies down - thank goodness - My memory of Striding Edge must have been buried as this was the 3rd time of taking it on. A good one to start off on - the others surely can only be easier!!
Andy Buxton walked up on April 25th, 1992 [from/via/route] From Patterdale. Circular walk: Birks, St.Sunday Crag, Fairfield,Dollywagon Pike, Nethermost Pike,Birkhouse Moor [with] SPI Lewis [weather] Cool, clear day, but windy. - Enjoyable route
Kevin Foster climbed on October 24th, 2019 [from/via/route] Patterdale [with] By myself. [weather] Blue skies (cloud developing later on Striding Edge & Helvellyn). - The only other person I saw the rest of the day was a female fell runner who overtook me on the final pull to this top. The summit cairn, like the previous one, is situated on a small promontory east of the main path & probably gets overlooked by most people who head to or from Helvellyn which is a pity because the views are worth the slight effort it takes to reach it. Superb side on view of St Sunday Crag across the valley.
Andrew Johnson bagged on October 2nd, 2019 [from/via/route] Bramcrag quarry. Car left in Grasmere. Bus to Thirlmere dam road then bike to Bramcrag quarry, [weather] Sunny weather
