With Ceri Evans. We started from Hem Gill Shaw took easy angled footpath ENE across Gt Whernside's NW flank, then NE along broad ridge to summit of Little Whernside for a game of 'Where's this Concrete Ring?' (TP17480 Lodge Pasture); retraced steps back to the path we ascended up but carried on up to Gt Whernside. Fantastic weather, views and company great afternoons walk concluded back at our start point bagging the rivet TP0149 at Hem Shaw Gill.

Plenty of folk about. Pillar still in fine condition with all metalwork present and correct. Views are stunning in every direction.

Circular hike from Scar House taking in Little Whernside and topping on Great Whernside. Used the opportunity to practice some micro navigation finding the actual source of The Nidd and other physical features. Also found the wreck of a Wellington Bomber that crash landed in September 1942 on a night nav exercise. Nature notes: lots seen today but the curlew and lapwing were abundant and in fine voice.

After bagging Conistone Moor we followed the wall north and then picked up a fence that took us across an area of peat groughs. An interesting feature were the historic boundary stones alongside the fence. The fence then went up through a carpet of cotton grass and up the steep Thorn Clod Hill to reach Whernside Pasture/Sweet Hill. The pillar of the 6th highest top in Yorkshire was set on a jumble of rocks which elevated it's interest level above average.Followed the path down to Hag Dyke and then a wonderful footpath down to Kettlewell.

Good off-road parking at SD 9862 7573, same spot as for Buckden Pike 3 days earlier. Very soggy track leads SE up to the ridge. Pillar sits on an outcrop at summit of the hill, there is superficial chipping to the top edges, otherwise good. An original centre cap is retained, lightly indented lettering; front sight hole sealed, other 3 open. Cloud down on a very wet day, no views. There is a ferrule and an old pivot benchmark (possibly the old trig) on the hill summit rock approx 4m E of the trig.

Visited during circuit of Wharfedale Three Peaks, third of four trig pillars bagged (though I did visit this summit once many years ago). Ascent from Kettlewell via Dowber Gill Beck and then across the soggy moor to pick up the ridge at Sweet Hill, from there to the summit. Conditions extraordinary on the top, everything heavily iced by freezing rain the previous night. No views, misty, nice pillar in a dramatically rocky location though.

Reaching this was a continuation of a walk from Conistone, via Conistone moor and following a wire fence from grid ref SE 998 708 which eventually leads to the summit of Great Whernside.Wharfedales highest point at 704m, surpassing Buckden Pike by a mere 2m. Well worth a short stroll east of the trig to admire the views of Angram and Scar House reservoir.

A drive up from Salop which should have taken 3hours took 4 due to traffic on m6. So by the time I arrived at the cattle grid it was already close to 6pm. Seems that this area had a darn good soaking yesterday too.. so I swam across the col. Trig is in remarkably fine fettle, no corners missing, plug intact. very nice. lovely place to be at twilight but not fancing crossing the bog in the dark didnt hang about. back at car for 20 past 7.

Vented through three sighting holes, FB face still plugged. 360° open outlook includes the three peaks.

There are many ways onto Great Whernside, I chose a dry ascent but an extremely wet descent (I would not recommend anyone to climb up from Little Hunters Sleet, Black Dike is just a huge swamp) I came up from Kettlewell and met a party who had come up from Nidderdale on the summit.

Path off Great Whernside to Little Hunters Sleet Where the path crosses Black Dike you can begin to see a dark line until you reach the wall, this is the worst section of path I have known for years. Chest Waders are appropriate if you want to keep your feet dry. Beyond is the road from Kettlewell to Coverdale with two specks that were parked cars next to it. The bulk of Bucken Pike looms large in the distance. ©NorthernRed

A cold and misty morning. Visibility down to only a few yards. We were sweeping the final leg of the 'Fellsman' and following the last two hikers across the summit. Unfortunately while we were attending to the paperwork these two disappeared into the cloud and mistakenly crossed the fence that runs the length of the summit ridge. As a result they were in danger of heading down into upper Nidderdale when in fact they shoulkd have been making for Threshfield! Luckily we heard their voices on the wind to the east of the summit and managed to locate them and put them back on the right track.

A retrospective entry as I found a photo with the trig in the background. Charlie(7) and Harvey(3) after a very hot ascent.

A lovely trig point, with some great views avaiulable to the west; sadly the views to the east are slightly curtailed by the narrow plateau that is the summit of Great Whernside.

From Kettlewell. At least there were no riders with their motorbikes to greet us on reaching the summit this time

Good views but the climb up from Kettlewell is quite badly eroded - longish walk from Kettlewell to Buckden via here and Buckden Pike. No cars, on foot. Up again 26/11/2006 in very poor weather - cold, windy and in low cloud giving mist & visibility of 100ft. Footpath suffering even more. Still no cars, still on foot.

Date is approx but I think it was the summer/sutumn of '78. Will have to look at old photographs to see if I can pin it down anymore accurately.
