Run up from Askham, before returning over Arthur's Pike. Forecast heavy showers never materialised, instead having lovely blue skies and clear views if a bit wet underfoot.

Walked up from Park Foot camp site The walk was not to demanding. Spoke to a hang glider at the stone circle who suggested we use a different path which was overlooking Ullswater instead of the high street path. This path was more demanding via White Knott and Arthur's Pike. High street would have been a gradual height gain. Panoramic views from the trig. Returned via the High Street path, very boring in comparison

Walked up from Pooley Bridge into the clouds. Hard trudge in the thick mist. Found the very tall trig easy enough though, in decent nick, has its original cap and another made of local stone. The walk became amazing as I descended into Fusedale - stunning place.

I parked on the grass near to Rough Hill Tarn which is in the east and more remote than the "honey pots" of Pooley Bridge and Ulswater. This pillar is a very dear friend, but this was the first time I have had the opportunity to spend a little time there and yes it is exceptionally tall. Seven Birketts today and only met one man and his dog. Magic. Gifted to discount stores....you know who they are. People are flocking to them at the moment and realising how much profit supermarkets are making and are continuing to up prices. Home Bargains gets my thumbs up.

We visited Loadpot Hill after Wether Hill as part of a 9-mile round from Martindale and Fusedale and then on to Bonscale Pike and Arthur's Pike. The stonebuilt pillar is somewhat larger than normal, is in excellent condition and commands magnificent views in every direction. Well worth a visit on a clear day.

A gentle wander onto the trig on Loadpot Hill before marching down to Arthur’s Pike, turning back for Bonscale Pike, then a steep descent to Howtown and a wander back to Martindale.

We continued southeast pasting Gowk Hill and up to Wether Hill. At this point turning north along High Street to Loadpot Hill. Brilliant walk and the weather was very good for the time of year.

Local traditional stone pillar in good order but as others have noted, foundations now a little exposed . All metal work intact. Onward to High Raise and beyond. A memorable day out on the fells.

A day out to increase the Wainwright collection. Parked at NY505210 (1 km S of Helton) and did the long gentle trek up to Wether Hill, then back to the car via Loadpot Hill, Bonscale Pike, Arthurs Pike, Heughscar Hill, and the prehistoric landscape (Bronze age cairns and stone circles) of Askham Fell. Fair number of walkers and cyclists out, though the weather was damp and misty. Views were great towards the central fells, would be fantastic on a clear day.

Parked at Roehead (just outside Pooley Bridge) and roughly followed High Street (path) to pillar. A nice gradual climb on a windy but clear day. Returned via Arthur's Pike. Very wet underfoot and a fairly featureless hill - but good views across to the eastern fells and beyond. Pillar looks quite fat. The path via Arthur's Pike is a lot less waterlogged than High Street. Had the hill, more or less, to ourselves.

Parked at Howtown Hotel and walked up Fusedale Beck, up onto Loadpot Hill, then North, past a stone circle and onto Arthurs Pike. From there, we descended to Auterstone Wood and then back to Howtown. Loadpot Hill is a cracking viewpoint and totally deserted. Perhaps most of the crowds were on High Street. Finished with a pint at the Howtown Hotel. Cracking views and a cracking trig.

Did a round from Moorahill Farm. Fine clear day with all the hills well defined. Need to walk west from the trig to get views of Ullswater.

Over the tops on walk from Patterdale to Pooley Bridge on a day when the views were almost non-existent.

As others, we walked up from Moorahill Farm, onto the Hause and via Low Kop up to Wether Hill. Along the ridge to the Trig and then down to The Pen, to Pen End and then back following the wall south to Carhulllana and back to the car. Lovely walk with fantastic panoramic views - would have been even more amazing had the weather not really closed in - we walked down without seeing much but rain! Me, Jon. 671m

Jon and me at the Trig, there was supposed to be a view too Someone was passing so we got them to take the photo. Makes a change for it not to be from ground level!

Superb views, although Loadpot itself is bleak and featureless apart from the occasional boundary stone. Seems a larger than average stone pillar - or is that just me?

Used to have a caravan situated at nearby Pooley Bridge. The ridge walk from there to Patterdale is very pleasant. Stayed on the summit in a small tent one night to see the sunrise over Ullswater. Date is representative only, visited it many times during the 90s.
