Christine Shepherd climbed Shipman Knotts on September 13th, 2009 [from/via/route] Walk c204 'The Lonsleddale Horizon' [with] On my own [weather] Dull - This walk was enhanced greatly by watching a herd of deer running across the moor in front of me. Climbed again on a similar day using the same route, 16.7.20 Finally did walk c204 in sunshine on 24.5.23 Such much easier when you can see the paths & the ground is dry.

Richard Fulcher bagged Shipman Knotts on April 18th, 2023 [from/via/route] No parking spaces in Kentmere! Parked off road (almost in a ditch, next to farm track). Set off up to the Garburn Pass, turning right at Garburn Nook & then walked up to Yoke. From Yoke we walked around the Kentmere Horseshoe & completed Ill Bell, Froswick, Mardale Ill Bell, Kentmere Pike & Shipman Knotts. We descended via an old shepherds path passing 3 derelict buildings (shepherds huts?) & then walked along the roads back to the car. 12.14 miles. [with] Jen [weather] Sunny, blue skies, very windy in exposed places.. gusts of 30 to 40 mph. Visibility was okay but hazy. - Tiring because of the distance & total ascent of 3,500 feet.
