Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Yoke
Tim Winn walked up Yoke on June 2nd, 2025 [from/via/route] Kentmere [with] Rachel and Helen [weather] Dry. Sunny.
Richard Holmes climbed it on April 7th, 2025 [from/via/route] Troutbeck [with] Myself. [weather] Hot, not a cloud in the sky. Got sunburnt!
James Hughes bagged it on September 11th, 2024 [from/via/route] c332 The Hagg Gill Round from Troutbeck [weather] Mixed. Odd shower, warm in valleys, cold on tops. Clear visibility. - Stunning & reasonably straight forward easy to navigate walk. Beautiful vistas. Multiple jet fly-bys. Tongue boggy & tusoucky in places. Mortal Man for post walk pint.
Paul Roddam hiked Yoke on March 17th, 2024 [with] Barber [weather] Cloudy coming into sun
Sarah Moore summited on February 24th, 2024 [from/via/route] c332 / The Hagg Gill Round from Troutbeck. Loads of parking options & the route was well defined. Only thing to watch for is the path down when on the ridge. Most continuing on from Froswick but I needed to go left - it's clear if you look for it! Nice to go along the path once down at the Gill / stream - the road / track would be easier if there was a hurry. [with] On my own [weather] February frost, but dry although low visibility for most of the walk - particularly once past Sallows until coming down from Froswick. Glad of layers today! - 10 months since I've been in The Lakes - & it was so so good to be back. Not as cold as I expected & the sun made an appearance but visibility was rubbish. Coming down from Froswick was lethal & I went full length twice - but very glad for the poles & nothing that the washing machine can't fix! (Disappointing given how clear it was later in the day & the next day!)
