アラーデールの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Went up Carrock Fell the steep way from the road. Didn't take long, but blimey it was cold on the top!

Again, great views of the north of the lake. We could just make out Scotland

Both decent options between Skiddaw South Top and Skiddaw, south west heading towards Carl Side, require sure footedness and appear rather treacherous as you head off the top down the scree.

Distinct from Skiddaw this is another small summit in the bag, topped with a sculpture made from scavenged iron and steel pieces.

Skiddaw is frequently dismissed as dull and featureless. In the right conditions however, its (comparitively) smooth contours appear to soften the harsh, bleak summit plateau. The boundary between land and sky starts to become less distinct and it takes on an eerie stillness.

beautiful, easy walk

Ling Fell and Sale Fell are the most northerly of the Wainwright Fells in the north western group. Overlooking Embleton and Wythop Mill and with commanding views of Bassenthwaite, the Skiddaw fells and further afield to Criffel in Galloway, both hills make good viewpoints despite their diminutive size. Sale Fell is the more easterly and slightly lower of the pair but being closer to Bassenthwaite Lake it has better views of that and to Dodd and the Long Side ridge of Skiddaw. Sale Fell is easily climbed from just above Wythop Mill where there is adequate parking.

Wage for work. A beautiful top.
