Richard Marchant walked up Haycock on September 24th, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked at the forest car park below Bowness Knot & walk up the side of Ennerdale Water heading East & at the end I headed South on a Forestry track then a footpath through the woods & up a ridge that finally brought me out to the col between Caw Fell & Haycock. I nipped up to Caw Fell & back along the ridge to Little Colder Crag & on to Haycock. Then across to Scoat Fell & descended down off there on to Steeple & carried on along Long Crag & eventually back to the bottom of Ennerdale & followed the Forest track back to my car. [with] On my Own [weather] Clear Sunny day with little or no breeze.
Kevin Foster climbed Haycock on June 15th, 2022 [from/via/route] Seatallan [with] By myself. [weather] Dry & sunny - Considerable height loss & gain to reach the next top on my walk Haycock. After a very steep drop on grass off the northern edge of Seatallan to the col, I aimed to the left of prominent Gowder Crag to ascend to the col between Scoat Fell & Haycock. Then turned left up the clear rocky path to the summit. There are two piles of stones either side of the wall but the southern side is considered slightly higher. A few metres south on a rocky promontory is a small cairn which gives the best views.
