Richard Fulcher hiked Wandope on May 28th, 2023 [from/via/route] We parked in the small car park at Cinderdale Common, from where we started the climb up the Lad Hows ridge. The path was clear but tricky in places due to the steepness & loose rock/ gravel. After nearly 2 hours of climbing & rests we reached the summit of Grasmoor. From there we retraced our steps a little & then descended to Wandope Moss & then up to the summit of Wandope itself. From Wandope we followed a clear path to Whiteless Pike via the Whiteless Edge ridge. We then followed the path down the fell, steep in places with loose rock & gravel, to find the path back down to the car along the Rannerdale valley. [with] Jen [weather] Sunny & warm, windy in places on the tops.
Kate Peacock summited Wandope on August 28th, 2022 [from/via/route] Car park on Whinlatter bank [with] Me & Sheila [weather] No breeze at all. Humid all day. Hotter on the morning, rain toward the end which I was glad about but it didn't really cool down - Couldn't really enjoy a lot of the tops because of flying ants.

Richard Marchant climbed Wandope on June 16th, 2022 [from/via/route] Early start from Lanthwaite Green Farm north up Whin Ben & then on to Whiteside. From here it was just a case of following the narrow ridge around to Hopegill Head down Sand Hill to Coledale Hause. From here I headed South to the top of Wandope Moss then headed West up on to the summit of Grasmoor. I then back tracked to Wandope & proceeded South along Whiteless Edge on to Whiteless Pike. Continued South to Whiteless Breast before eventually turning West & climbing the ridge to Rannerdale Knotts. From here I dropped down to the B5289 & followed the road back to my car. [with] On my Own [weather] Clear hot sunny day with little or no breeze.
