Nick Tippins walked up Lingmoor Fell on September 24th, 2025 [from/via/route] c238: Lingmoor Fell & Side Pike from Elterwater [with] Fran
Andrew Gayne climbed it on July 13th, 2025 [from/via/route] Elterwater [with] Becky Gayne [weather] 3rd heatwave of the year, boiling hot & breathless - Drove up to Elterwater & had a drink in the pub before setting off at 1.30pm. Despite being one of the smallest fells we found it very hard due to the weather. Up the fell & across the ridge with great views to Side Pike then dropped onto the road & walked back along the valley beneath the Langdale Pikes. Long & tiring
James Hughes bagged it on April 4th, 2025 [from/via/route] c238 Lingmoor Fell from Elterwater [weather] Glorious sunny day. - Walk from Wainwright Inn. Climb up to Dale End & then up to Lingmoor Fell summit cairn. Tricky descent in places due to path choice. Not enough time for Side Pike. Took route that joined Cumbria Way to return through campsite for pint at Wainwright Inn.
