Around Ullswater and more, this is a quiet area of Lakeland but one well worth exploring.

Caudale Moor
Published 26 March 2023
Also known as Stony Cove Pike. Or John Bell’s Banner. Apparently.
Grey Crag
Published 22 July 2018
Grey Crag. Most certainly not Gray. That’s somewhere completely different.
Tarn Crag (Longsleddale)
Published 15 July 2018
A mini Tower of Sauron, and an abruptly ending wall.
Branstree
Published 8 July 2018
Follow the fence to Branstree, calling at the survey pillar and a false summit that’s more impressive than the real thing.
Selside Pike

Starting the day with a hike from gorgeous Swindale, up to one of the four most easterly Wainwrights.
Kidsty Pike

Re-visiting a fell, in rather better conditions than the first time.

Winner of the “Most Awkward Wainwright in the Far Eastern Fells” award.
Rest Dodd
Published 27 September 2017
An easy to find fell, when following the main route of the Coast to Coast. But sneaks up on you if you’ve made a wrong turn.
Angletarn Pikes
Published 20 September 2017
A fell where you can get a grand view of Angle Tarn. When there’s no cloud, anyway.
Wether Hill
Published 13 September 2017
Nearby neighbour of Loadpot Hill, and just as attractive in the rain.
Loadpot Hill
Published 6 September 2017
The 17th highest in the Far Eastern fells. Yes, that’s how exciting it is.
Bonscale Pike
Published 30 August 2017
The fell with two towers to welcome you. Assuming you go up the right path that is.
Arthur’s Pike
Published 23 August 2017
A stone circle, and a Roman Road are passed on the way to a fell perhaps named after a king?
