Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Long Side

Ian Ashton walked up on April 10th, 2021 [with] Steve H

Kate Peacock climbed on April 10th, 2022 [from/via/route] Dropped off at the car park as you turn off the A591. Collect at Dodd Wood car park [with] Me & Sheila [weather] No rain. Winds weren't too bad. Mainly sunny. Gloves for the top but other than that no issues. - The path, which we knew about, down from Carl Side to Dodd Wood has massively eroded over the years. We managed to scramble & follow the higher small path which people have started to make. Little scary

Richard Fulcher bagged on July 31st, 2021 [from/via/route] Parked in a layby on the A591 just past the official Dodd Wood car park. Walked west in parallel with the road & then gradually up the side of the fell to Ling How. Turned right up 'The Edge' to Ullock Pike & then on to Longside Edge & Carl Side. Back down to White Stones & across to Dodd. Returned down the forestry track in Longside Wood. [with] Jen [weather] Clear blue sky day, cold (-1) but with light winds. - Does Longside Edge really qualify as a Wainwright?

Claire Murray climbed on February 28th, 2021 [from/via/route] Dodd Wood, Ullock Pike, Long Side, Carl Side & Skiddaw [with] Vitor [weather] So sunny! - Lovely walk, hard going uphill but definitely worth it

Kevin Foster bagged on November 27th, 2020 [from/via/route] High Side. [with] Henry. [weather] Cloudy. - By starting in the small lay-by near High Side farm it gives you a superb approach to the Ullock Pike ridge walking up the secluded valley of Southerndale. Ullock Pike itself has a false summit when seen from below. the true summit is only seen when the false one has been reached. After this the gradient eases & you reach the slender top of Long Side edge after a matter of minutes. There are superb aerial views of Bassenthwaite Lake for most of the climb along the long ridge. Fantastic!
