Lovely views over Wasdale Water from the top of middle fell!

Yewbarrow is an excellent viewpoint for the Scafells and Pillar range, despite being only 627m high. It is an entertaining peak as the usual route up via Bell Rib is a grade 1 scramble and another Grade 1 scramble is encountered on the descent via Stirrup Crag to Dore Head (though this can be bypassed by leaving the ridge earlier). Yewbarrow is very steep on the Wastwater side so the summit is a very airy viewpoint.

Middle Fell is 1,909 feet (582 m) high. It rises above the northern shore of Wast Water, offering a good viewing point of the lake and the Scafells to the east. It's steep and craggy when viewed from Wast Water, but normally run from Greendale or Seatallan rather than direct from the lake.

Illgill Head at 609m is the highest point of the long ridge above Wast Water, it's often known as Wastwater screes. The summit and ridge line are runnable, nowhere near as rough as the face looks so the ridge makes a good loop with the lake or from further away. Illgill head is a fine viewpoint of Wasdale Head.

Great fell alongside Wast Water and very accessible from the car park at Overbeck Bridge. I went up on a drizzly day but still had a great scramble going up via the gullies between Dropping Crag and Bell Rib. Didn't get the blue sky views but at least I had some and it was good scramble outing. Not wanting to down climb Stirrup Crag in the wet I took a side track just back from North Top coming off the Western side.

Middle Fell is an awesome viewpoint. Looking East you have Yewbarrow, Great Gable and the Scafell group in all its glory. SE you then have the glory of Wast Water and the long ridge of Illgill Head and Whin Rigg. As Ad Nic said it is also best done in conjunction with Buckbarrow and Seatallan. There is parking at the bottom of Middle Fell.

Set out from the National Trust car park at 7.30am in the morning on a blue sky day and by 8.30am we were on the top and couldn't see 50m in front....bummer!
