Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Lingmell
Elaine Evans walked up on October 14th, 2019 [from/via/route] From Seathwaite via Stockley Bridge, Styhead Tarn and The Corridor Route to Lingmell and back by same route. [with] Sue and Christine [weather] Dry and clear. - Can't believe I'd forgotten about the tricky scramble on the corridor route! Good views of Scafell Pike, etc. from summit.
Christina Lander climbed on June 28th, 2019 [from/via/route] Wasdale Head - Styhead Pass - The Band - Great End - Lingmell - Wasdale Head. [with] Dick & Meg [weather] Hot and sunny. - Missed the turning up the Band, so headed up from Sprinkling Tarn to join the Band further up.
Chris Sheard bagged on April 8th, 2019 [from/via/route] Up from Wasdale National Trust [with] George [weather] Started and finished clear & fabulous - Missed the ridge path, went up on ridge bewtween the ghyll and bromn tongue - not for the weak or faint hearted - nice top with many good features
Simon Myerscough hiked on April 18th, 2006 [from/via/route] C271 [weather] Cloudy first, sunny later, Very very windy (hailstones)
Anjanee Neat summited on August 18th, 2017 [from/via/route] Hollowstones route [with] Husband [weather] Cloudy, sunny, windy
Craig Steeland conquered on September 1st, 2017 [from/via/route] From National Trust car park at the head of Wasdale [with] Sue [weather] Partly cloudy and warm with light winds - A long, tough walk with an unwelcome boggy section at the end
Iain Jones scaled on August 26th, 2017 [from/via/route] The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Great Langdale (The Wainwright 60 - Day 6 (Scafell)) [with] Graeme High
Anthony Scott walked up on July 13th, 2017 [from/via/route] NT campsite at Wast Water [with] me [weather] White cloud and some sun
John Walter climbed on May 26th, 2017 [with] Tricia
Richard Fulcher bagged on May 3rd, 2017 [from/via/route] Wasdale Head [with] Jen [weather] Sunny, clear blue sky, very windy with gale force gusts - The path up from Wasdale Head was well marked & firm under foot. I went up Lingmell whilst Jen waited in the col shielding herself from the wind. We both then slowly hiked up to the top of Scafell Pike, getting blown off course every few steps by a strong gust of wind. Trying getting up and down. About 10 to 20 people at the top. We abandoned the idea of walking to Great End and back by Sty Head and just returned via the main path to the Wasdale Head Inn.
