Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Selside Pike

Richard Fulcher walked up on May 7th, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked in a lay-by near the Mardale Head car park. Set off up to Small Water (coffee) & then gradually up the hill behind the tarn up to Nan Bield. From there we ascended Harter Fell. From the top of Harter Fell we descended to Gatesgarth Pass & then up again (bit of a slog) up to Branstree. From Branstree we walked past the 'monoliths' & on to Selside ( I diverted to look at the 'Pillar'). After Selside we descended in an easterly direction & joined the Old Corpse Road & followed it down to the road by Haweswater. [with] Jen [weather] Fairly still with some cold wind on the tops. Cloud developed but there was no wind. - Some interesting ruined buildings on the way down.

Richard Marchant climbed on November 21st, 2021 [from/via/route] I parked the car alongside Haweswater near Rowantreethwaite Beck & took the Old Corpse Road up to High Birkin Knott then headed south west to Selside Pike & carried on along the ridge to Branstree then descended North & West of Hopgill Beck back to the car. [with] By Myself. [weather] Clear Skies frosty morning & a cold northerly wind

Geoff Hand bagged on September 29th, 2021 [from/via/route] c251 Mardale Head Horizon from Mardale Head [with] Alone [weather] Generally Dry, windy with occasional showers - Fantastic views of this Southern end of Haweswater.

Michael Nolan climbed on June 11th, 2019 [from/via/route] Haweswater ....corpse road [weather] overcast but fine

Kevin Foster bagged on April 19th, 2019 [from/via/route] Swindale Lane. [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny with very little breeze making it quite hot for walking. - I chose this walk to start off my Lakes campaign thinking it was a fairly remote part of the Lakes & it might not be too overcrowded over the Easter weekend...wrong! When I got there the car park was already full. Although I saw many people out & about strangely I had almost every summit top to myself. The exception being Selside Pike where I met a couple with two dogs, one of which tried to eat my sandwich & the other had a go at Henry for getting too close or something. Luckily they made their apologies & quickly moved on.
