    Hiking

    Long Side is a superb Wainwright fell, the central summit of the excellent Longside Edge. This narrowish ridge is undoubtedly the best way up or down Skiddaw, giving excitement regardless of whether you're hiking or running. I find the temptation to run it even when I'm hiking too much to ignore.

    The views are also excellent. Skiddaw's regal, slatey dome rises beyond the silent valley of Southerndale, while Bassenthwaite Lake glistens to the west.

    Hiking

    Long Side is most often approached from either Ullock Pike or Carl Side along Longside Edge. A great Northern Fell at 734m.
