N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

I have found several references to halypike lake but still can't work out where it is!

From googling I think somewhere near Allenheads, on the Beldon Burn

(maybe associated with Halleywell Fell)
