    Hiking

    Not to be confused with Middle Earth’s Weathertop, this satellite of the Coniston Fells is nevertheless a fantastical hill. A textures mismatch of rugged crag and expansive fellside, Wetherlam is a swirl of spurs and coves threaded by gills and becks. The sort of peak you could spend an age on, oblivious to the passage of time.

    Hiking

    My favourite ascent of Wetherlam is via Wetherlam Edge, a great scramble!

    Running

    A giant, sprawling mountain at 2,503 ft (763 m), there are great views from the summit across to the Old Man of Coniston or over towards Langdale. Despite its size, Wetherlam is very runnable - it's not very steep but some sections are quite rocky.
