Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Kidsty Pike
Kevin Foster walked up Kidsty Pike on May 17th, 2019 [from/via/route] Rampsgill Head [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny and hot to begin with becoming cloudier later in the day with a cold northerly breeze. - After Rampsgill Head the next two tops come in rapid succession with minimal effort. First Kidsty Pike which is just a short stroll across grass and must only just qualify as a separate top because the height gain from the col doesn't feel anything like 50 feet. In fact, after checking my Wainwright book, there appears to be only a height gain of 35 feet from the col with Ramspgill Head. Yet Kidsty Pike qualifies and The Knott doesn't. Who decides these things? Anyway whatever, the birds eye view of Riggindale from the small cairn perched above steep crags is worthy of any mountain.
Elaine Evans climbed Kidsty Pike on October 30th, 2018 [from/via/route] From Hartsop via Hayeswater Gill to filter house and then the summit of The Knott, continued to Rampsgill Head, High Raise and Kidsty Pike, returned to Hayeswater and back to Hartsop via Hayeswater Gill. [with] Sue, Christine and Mark [weather] Fog, fog and more fog - though it did clear briefly on Kidsty Pike! Occasional glimpse of sunshine. Cold but dry. - Four peaks in a very short time. Shame we missed out on the views again - maybe next time!
