 Skiddaw
- Northern Fells
At 3,054 feet, Skiddaw is the fourth highest mountain in England.
Lying just north of Keswick, it dominates the skyline of the
northern lakes. The most popular ascent is via the tourist
track which starts from Keswick and first ascends behind Latrigg,
before the climb continues over the slopes of Little Man to
the summit. Not the sort of walk for those seeking solitude
though.
Wainwright's recommendation is to follow Longside Edge, first
ascending Ullock Pike, Long Side and Carl Side before making
the steep climb up from Carlside Col. The summit ridge bears
a number of tops and cairns and stone windshelters abound.
The view is panoramic encompassing the Pennines and Solway
Firth in addition to the more expected main ranges of the
Lake District. |

 High
Stile - Western Fells
High Stile at 2,648 ft with its satellites Red Pike and High
Crag, forms a trio of fells overlooking the lake and village
of Buttermere. Unsurprisingly the fell is usually ascended
as a traverse of the 'Buttermere Three'. Strong walkers may
continue the walk towards Haystacks, four miles to the south
east.
The view is extensive, the highlight perhaps being the North
Western Fells across the Buttermere valley. Ennerdale Water
and Crummock Water are in view and careful steps toward the
brink can also add Bleaberry Tarn to the picture. Fine views
of the crags of the surrounding combs complete the foreground. |
