Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Yockenthwaite Moor
Mark Davidson walked up Yockenthwaite Moor on April 3rd, 2004 [from/via/route] Walk ny207 Yockenthwaite Moor from Buckden [with] Alone [weather] Dry & bright. The climb up to the summit of Yockenthwaite Moor was a struggle . . . but the view from there is magnificent.
Kevin Foster climbed it on July 16th, 2017 [from/via/route] Hubberholme (Strans Gill) [with] By myself (and Henry my Labrador) [weather] Hot & Sunny (but with a pleasant cool breeze on the tops). - I took the described route via Strans Gill, which was the recommended & easiest route to the summit of Yockenthwaite Moor, but it was still very tough as there was no clear path that I could see. This shows that relatively few people do this fell & it was obvious why when the trig point came into view. this was probably the longest 1/4 mile walking I've ever done as I tried to thread a route through the peat hags & bogs. The view South made it worth it.......Just!
Tony Rogerson bagged it on May 2nd, 2016 [from/via/route] Buckden Hubberholme Yockenthwaite Moor Cray Moss Cray Buckden [with] Caz Floss [weather] Clear & breezy - Beware the peat haggs!
Caroline Winter hiked Yockenthwaite Moor on August 9th, 2015 [from/via/route] Huberholme, Scar House, Strans Gill, yockenthwaite moor summit, South towards Yockenthwaite hamlet, Dales Way, Huberholme [with] solo [weather] cloudy, light Westerly wind, warm at 19 degrees C - Worried about this Walk; comments of horrendous bog, but locals not phased so decision made to tackle today as rain setting in tomorrow. Navigation easy to reach summit & beacon white trig point stood proud. Northerly wall/fence handrail but water ravines & hidden holes & water courses caused reason for wits & careful footing. Bog leaping to summit. A casual descent caused veering to South West & dropping low too quickly but route traced & delightful walk back along river bank
Darren Mortimer summited on May 30th, 2015 [from/via/route] Buckden [with] Dermot Palmer [weather] Sunny & a nice breeze - The peat hags are nowhere near as bad as been made out.
