High Raise at 763m (2,502ft) is the central summit of the Lake District — literally and figuratively. Wainwright noted that it commands a view of almost every major fell in the district, a great 360-degree panorama that is almost unmatched for sheer breadth.

Summit conditions on High Raise (High White Stones)

On the summit on Tuesday 27 October: 10° to 4°C, gusts to 62 mph, 14.3 mm of rain forecast over the whole day, midnight to midnight.

Against our lines, Tuesday 27 October: wind, cold and cloud from the Met Office UKV 2 km model (daylight hours, as in the verdict above); rain from the summit line’s forecast (the whole day). A tile is large when this top is past its line.

Wind on the top

Past the line

64 mph, our estimate for the open top in the worst daylight hour

The Met Office 2 km model’s gust of 52 mph times our exposure factor of 1.24. The summit line above gives Open-Meteo’s highest gust for the whole day, 62 mph, before any exposure factor.

The line Our line: 25 mph, where our wind Scale begins its 25–35 band: “balance affected; buffeting on exposed ground”. MWIS describes what wind does to a walker across a range rather than at a line: from about 20–25 mph it starts to affect your balance.

Estimated: it is not calibrated against summit readings, and the two forecasts can disagree by more than a band.

Rain, and the becks

Past the line

14.3 mm of rain over the whole day, midnight to midnight

The same figure as the summit line above and the 7-day forecast.

The line Our line: 6 mm in the day, where our scorer counts a day as soaking. We read rainfall, never river levels: becks in spate.

Open-Meteo’s forecast. It says nothing about rain already in the ground.

Also checked cold: feels like 0 °C, no ice or snow forecast; cloud: a clear-top reading of 20 out of 100, over our in-cloud line of 20. Under a line is not the same as fine: it means only that these figures are under the lines we use.

Not in these tiles Lightning, river levels, snow or ice already lying, and the ground under your feet. A tile cannot see them, so an empty space here never means they are absent.

Hazards on High Raise (High White Stones)

Hazard & Incident Information for High Raise (High White Stones)

Checked by Lee McCoy, . Draws on published material from Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team. Editorial background, not a live callout feed.

Hazard: Moderate

The highest of the Central Fells and the hub of the District's central watershed — a broad, smooth, grassy plateau where many paths meet. There are no real crags at the top, so the hazard here is almost entirely navigational: in cloud the vast featureless plateau is one of the easiest places in the Lakes to walk off on the wrong bearing, and it is a long way down to any valley in every direction. Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team covers this ground.

  • The featureless summit plateau in cloud: A wide grassy dome with few landmarks beyond the summit cairn/windshelter and a ruined fence. Several paths radiate from here (to the Langdale Pikes, Sergeant Man, Greenup Edge, Borrowdale). In mist it is very easy to leave on the wrong line — take and trust a compass bearing before you move.
  • Greenup Edge / the boggy cols: The connecting cols, especially Greenup Edge, are boggy and confusing in cloud and have caught out many walkers (including on the Coast to Coast). Navigate carefully through the path junctions rather than following the lie of the land.
  • Remoteness, exposure and steep margins: It is a long descent to any valley, with no shelter but the summit windbreak, and the plateau breaks into steeper ground toward the Langdale Pikes and the valley heads if you drift off it. Carry full kit and allow time; don't rely on finding shelter up high.
Who should attempt this fell: High Raise is gentle underfoot but a serious navigation test: on a clear day it's an easy plateau walk, while in cloud the lack of features defeats people who could handle far rougher ground. Be confident with map, compass and bearings, set your line before leaving the summit, and take particular care at Greenup Edge. Allow for the remoteness and carry what you need — there is no shelter up here. Full winter competence when there is snow.

What to watch for: Navigation errors off the broad featureless plateau in cloud · Walkers getting lost at Greenup Edge and the boggy cols · Drifting onto steeper ground at the plateau margins · Exposure and long walk-outs in bad weather

Local Mountain Rescue: Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team

Safety: Always check current conditions, carry proper navigation equipment, and seek qualified instruction before heading onto the fells. In an emergency, call 999, ask for Police, then Mountain Rescue.

Report incorrect information

Navigating in cloud

Severe

Of the three things our terrain model measures, the highest reading here is the amount of near-level ground around the summit. A serious place to be caught in cloud: carry map and compass (or GPS) and know how to use them, or save it for a clear day.

From walking it — not from the terrain model

What catches people out: The centre of the Central Fells plateau — big, gentle, and identical in every direction, with the Langdale edges a long way from obvious.

The line to take: Greenup Edge and the Sergeant Man line are the handrails; in cloud navigate plateau-edge to plateau-edge, not summit to summit.

First-hand knowledge of this top, written by Lee. It adds to the computed grade above — it never changes it, and its absence on another fell means only that it has not been written yet.

In winter — snow, whiteout, cornices, buried features — every top demands full winter navigation skills whatever its band, and a broad, gentle summit can be the worst place of all. See walking in bad weather and the navigation guide.

If you need Mountain Rescue

Dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Police, then Mountain Rescue.

Before you call, have ready: where you are (a grid reference if you can – the OS Locate app shows yours on your phone), what has happened, how many of you there are, and your mobile number.

Then stay where you are until the rescue team contacts you.

If you cannot make a voice call because of a hearing or speech impairment, emergency SMS works only if you have registered first: text “register” to 999.

Best season: Any season in good conditions; the plateau behind the Pikes is featureless in cloud.

Warnings: Avoid Jack's Rake on Pavey Ark unless you're a confident scrambler — the walkers' route reaches the same summit. Boggy ground and confusing navigation on the High Raise and Sergeant Man plateau in mist. Steep, rocky ground around the Pikes. Loft Crag: The small abrupt summit stands right above Gimmer Crag, a sheer climbing buttress falling to Langdale. Keep well back from the southern edge near the top, especially in cloud or wind — and if scrambling on the south side, be aware climbers may be on the crag below. The boggy plateau has few landmarks, and the sheer drops of Pavey Ark and Harrison Stickle lie close by. In mist a wrong bearing off Thunacar Knott can take you to a cliff edge. Navigate carefully by compass and know where the crag edges are before you move.

On the hill: terrain and water on High Raise (High White Stones)

Water & shelter on the way up

On the Langdale Pikes Round route:

possible water source (7 m off the line) shelter (weather shelter, mapped, not checked; 6 m off the line) New Dungeon Ghyll (110 m from the start, straight line)

Treat water from the fell before you drink it. A mapped point is not proof the water is drinkable, so carry your own or use a supply you know is safe. Never drink untreated from a beck, stream or tarn — even clear-looking hill water can carry giardia or cryptosporidium from livestock upstream and leave you seriously ill. Use a treatment method suited to what might be in the water, and follow the device’s own instructions. Boiling and ordinary filters do not make water with dissolved metals or chemicals safe: where that is possible, choose another source.

About High Raise (High White Stones)

High Raise (High White Stones), a Lake District fell
© Lee McCoy

The summit is a broad, grassy plateau, and its central position means it can be reached from Langdale, Grasmere, Borrowdale or Thirlmere, though from any of them it is a long walk in, and the plateau is featureless in cloud. The Langdale Pikes are its dramatic near neighbours to the south. The summit is the starting point for descent to Stickle Tarn and the Langdale valley.

Field notes

Strangely High Raise is one of my favourite summits. I know the surrounding area to the north, east and south is relatively flat and featureless, but it's a great place to stop on a sunny day to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the views. That's what it's about - getting some peace and quiet and contemplating the world. There's just enough of a cairn and incline to find a spot out of the wind should you need and you can build it into any route that may involve Ullscarf, Sergeant Man or Thunacar Knott.

Sunrise and sunset on High Raise (High White Stones)

High Raise (High White Stones) sits close to the flat-horizon case. Even on its longest wait of the modelled year (at midsummer) first light is only 13 minutes after almanac sunrise, so the published sunrise time is a fair guide here.

How the skyline, light and sightlines are computed

Computed, not photographed. First light is the first minute the sun’s upper limb clears this summit’s own skyline and last light the last minute it is still clear of it, both solved against the 360° horizon profile behind The View from High Raise (High White Stones). Almanac sunrise and sunset are the flat-horizon convention. Every time carries a ± band from the 30 m elevation model — it smooths arêtes and cornices, so nothing here claims better than five minutes.

Sightlines from the Copernicus GLO-30 elevation model, which is a surface model: each 30 m cell holds the top of whatever stands there, trees and buildings included, rather than bare ground. Corrected for the Earth’s curvature and average atmospheric refraction. “Distant” sightlines and any over 100 km depend on exceptionally clear air. Modelled from Copernicus GLO-30 open elevation data — a guide to the view, not a guarantee of any single one.
