Conditions on this route

We score every Lakeland Wainwright each morning on cloud, wind, rain and underfoot, and this route crosses 4 of them. The worst summit governs the verdict — a route is only as kind as its roughest top.

The walk, stage by stage

  1. 1

    Start → Lonscale Fell (2.9 km, 430 m)

    Climb of about 430 m over 2.9 km (around 15% average).

    From the Gale Road (Latrigg) car park, take the main Skiddaw path north past the Hawell Monument. After about 1.6 km, where it bears left, keep right and go north beside the wall, then turn right (east) along the wall to the summit of Lonscale Fell.

    Waypoints

    Gale Road car park, Hawell Monument, the fork at 1.6 km, Lonscale Fell Wainwright summit.

    Decision point

    A small summit cairn marks the true highest point.

    Easy to get wrong

    About 15% on average: gentle for 0.8 km, then 20-28% for nearly 1 km above the Hawell Monument. The Wainwright summit is a grassy, flat area with no craggy top, which can confuse walkers.

    If you need to get off

    Retrace the steep grassy ascent directly back to the Gale Road car park.

  2. 2

    Lonscale Fell → Lonscale Pike (Lonscale Fell East Top) (0.4 km, 11 m)

    Undulating section of about 0.4 km.

    Take an undulating, short diversion eastwards across the plateau to the pointed peak of Lonscale Pike.

    Waypoints

    Lonscale Fell summit, Lonscale Pike (East Top).

    Decision point

    The pointed profile of the Pike is easy to spot as you walk towards it.

    Easy to get wrong

    This short section is straightforward, but the sudden, sheer drops over the old mining valley of Glenderaterra at the East Top are dramatic and require caution. Because the east peak is so distinctive, it is easy to mistakenly assume it is the very top of the fell from lower down.

    If you need to get off

    Return to the main summit and descend back to the start.

  3. 3

    Lonscale Pike (Lonscale Fell East Top) → Jenkin Hill (1.6 km, 97 m)

    Climb of about 97 m over 1.6 km (around 6% average).

    Head back west from the East Top over Lonscale Fell's summit, then follow the wall and fence (on your right) down to a dip and up to the grassy top of Jenkin Hill.

    Waypoints

    Lonscale Pike, Lonscale Fell summit, the dip beside the fence, Jenkin Hill top.

    Decision point

    The wall, then the fence, on your right is a handrail to Jenkin Hill.

    Easy to get wrong

    Back over Lonscale Fell, down about 50 m to a dip, then about 70 m up to Jenkin Hill, over often spongy ground.

    If you need to get off

    Once on the main Jenkin Hill path, turning left (south) gives a fast, heavily trodden descent back to Gale Road.

  4. 4

    Jenkin Hill → Skiddaw Lesser Man (0.6 km, 99 m)

    Climb of about 99 m over 0.6 km (around 16% average).

    From Jenkin Hill, follow the fence for about 0.3 km to cross the wide main Skiddaw path at a gate and stile, then climb west up the steep grassy bank to Skiddaw Lesser Man.

    Waypoints

    Jenkin Hill, the gate on the main Skiddaw path, Skiddaw Lesser Man top.

    Decision point

    Beyond the main path, a clear path carries on up the ridge line.

    Easy to get wrong

    About 16% on average: nearly level to the main path, then steepening to about 40% just below Lesser Man.

    If you need to get off

    Drop back down the short grassy slope to rejoin the Jenkin Hill path.

  5. 5

    Skiddaw Lesser Man → Skiddaw Little Man (0.3 km, 67 m)

    Climb of about 67 m over 0.3 km (around 22% average).

    A short, steep pull north-west to the summit of Skiddaw Little Man.

    Waypoints

    Lesser Man top, Skiddaw Little Man summit.

    Decision point

    The path is clear and leads to the summit cairn.

    Easy to get wrong

    About 22% on average; short, but steep.

    If you need to get off

    Descend the way you came to reconnect with the main tourist path below.

  6. 6

    Skiddaw Little Man → Skiddaw South Top (1.1 km, 131 m)

    Descent of about 59 m, then a climb of about 131 m, over 1.1 km.

    Drop north-north-west, about 60 m, to the hause. From there, climb north-west up the loose, slatey slope, joining the main path from Jenkin Hill after about 0.3 km, to the South Top on the main Skiddaw ridge.

    Waypoints

    The hause, the main Skiddaw path, Skiddaw South Top.

    Decision point

    The broad, eroded path is obvious.

    Easy to get wrong

    The climb of about 130 m (about 17%) up Skiddaw’s southern flank is covered in loose slate and scree, making foot placement tiring and slippery. Wind exposure increases as you crest the main ridge.

    If you need to get off

    Retrace steps to the hause and drop south-east to pick up the main tourist path back to Latrigg.

  7. 7

    Skiddaw South Top → Skiddaw Middle Top (0.2 km, 13 m)

    Undulating section of about 0.2 km.

    A quick, undulating walk northwards along the wide, exposed summit ridge of Skiddaw.

    Waypoints

    Skiddaw South Top, Skiddaw Middle Top.

    Decision point

    Handrail the broad ridge crest.

    Easy to get wrong

    Very exposed. Wind on this broad slate ridge can be very strong.

    If you need to get off

    Turn back to the South Top and go down the way you came up: the loose, slatey slope to the hause, then south-east to the main tourist path back to Latrigg.

  8. 8

    Skiddaw Middle Top → Skiddaw (0.3 km, 21 m)

    Undulating section of about 0.3 km.

    Continue north along the broad ridge to reach the main summit trig point and viewplate.

    Waypoints

    Middle Top, Skiddaw main summit (trig point).

    Decision point

    The trig point and viewplate mark the summit.

    Easy to get wrong

    Straightforward walking on loose slate, but weather conditions and high winds are the primary hazard here.

    If you need to get off

    In a complete whiteout, stop and work out where you are with the map and compass before you move. Once you know, the usual way back is to reverse the ridge walk you came along. If you cannot move safely, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Police, then Mountain Rescue.

  9. 9

    Skiddaw → Broad End (0.8 km, 14 m)

    Descent of about 102 m over 0.8 km.

    Drop north off the main summit over the stony plateau, descending steadily towards the subsidiary bump of Broad End.

    Waypoints

    Skiddaw summit, Broad End.

    Decision point

    Follow the distinct path leading north along the ridge line.

    Easy to get wrong

    The terrain remains rocky and barren. The initial descent off Skiddaw can be tricky to navigate in thick clag. Gibraltar Crag falls away on the left (west) of the path for about 300 m, starting about 0.3 km below the summit, as close as about 25 m; keep to the path in mist.

    If you need to get off

    If visibility is zero, returning to the summit and using the main southern tourist path is the best bet.

  10. 10

    Broad End → Bakestall (1.2 km, 24 m)

    Descent of about 152 m over 1.2 km.

    From Broad End, descend north-east beside the fence over grassy ground, steeply for about 0.8 km, to the summit of Bakestall.

    Waypoints

    Broad End, Bakestall summit.

    Decision point

    The fence on your right is a handrail all the way to Bakestall and on down Birkett Edge.

    Easy to get wrong

    The terrain shifts from slate back to grass. Stay well clear of the precipitous western edges at Dead Crags.

    If you need to get off

    Push forward to Bakestall, as the descent down Birkett Edge ahead is the usual way off this northern flank.

  11. Bakestall → Finish (9.7 km, 213 m)

    Descent of about 377 m, with about 213 m of climbing, over 9.7 km.

    From Bakestall, descend north-east beside the fence, down the steep path along Birkett Edge, to the track by the waterfalls at Whitewater Dash. From here, turn right to pick up the wide, unpaved track of the Cumbria Way. Follow this long valley track south past Skiddaw House, then contour around the steep, craggy eastern flanks of Lonscale Fell all the way back to the Gale Road car park.

    Waypoints

    Birkett Edge, Whitewater Dash (Dash Falls), Cumbria Way, Skiddaw House, Glenderaterra valley track, Whit Beck, Gale Road finish.

    Decision point

    Once at Whitewater Dash, the Cumbria Way is a clear dirt and gravel track that leads back to the Latrigg area.

    Easy to get wrong

    A long 9.7 km walk out. The initial descent down Birkett Edge is steep, 25-34% for about 0.8 km, and tough on tired knees. Birkett Edge is a crag: for the first 0.7 km below Bakestall the path runs along its top, 20-100 m to your left, so keep to the path by the fence in mist. The remaining distance along the Cumbria Way is a long, rolling valley track: easy underfoot, but long at the end of the day. Lonscale Fell's east face is a long line of crags falling steeply to Glenderaterra, and Lonscale Pike sits right on the edge.

    If you need to get off

    Once you are on the Cumbria Way track, you are on the main valley route back to the start; it is long and rolling, so allow for it.

In the order you walk them — the same numbers the elevation profile, the stage notes and the pacing table use.

Keep to the built line. The notes on this route mention eroded or braided ground. Where it is mud or standing water, walk through the puddle rather than round it, stay on the pitched stone even where it is a staircase you would rather not use, take the zig-zags the long way, leave loose stones and cross-drains where they lie, and build no cairns. Deep or moving water is a different question — turn back or take the safest way past rather than wade for the sake of a path. Fix the Fells’ volunteers keep these paths: what a metre costs, and how to give a day or a few pounds.

More about this walk

The easy exposure grade is for the walking line, but the route visits Lonscale Pike, which sits right on the edge of the crags above Glenderaterra, so keep well back there. From Bakestall it is 9.7 km out, with 213 m of climbing still in it.

Conditions and timing

Check live conditions in the “From the fells” panel, on MWIS and the Met Office mountain forecast before you set off.

When the sun reaches the tops

Not sunrise — the moment the sun clears the skyline from that summit, which on a fell with high ground to its east can be a good deal later.

  • Lonscale Fell — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:30, about a quarter of an hour later. In late September, about 07:15. It waits longest in late March — about a quarter of an hour after sunrise.
  • Skiddaw Little Man — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:15, with the sunrise. In late September, about 07:00.
  • Skiddaw — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:15, with the sunrise. In late September, about 07:00.
  • Bakestall — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:15, with the sunrise. In late September, about 07:00.
How to read these times

The two equinoxes are shown because they fall in the walking season, and late December too wherever a top keeps you waiting then; the clock gap between the equinoxes is British Summer Time, not the hill. Rounded to the nearest quarter hour and meant as a general idea, not a schedule.

Modelled from a 30 m elevation model against each summit’s own skyline — the same figures the fell pages carry, never observed. Cloud is not in it.

Access & barriers

Can a dog, a buggy or dodgy knees manage this route?

Dog
Mostly gates
Buggy
Not buggy-able
Knees
Tough descent
  • Buggy: Stiles or rough going on the route.
  • Knees: A long, steep ~32% drop over 250 m around the 10.0 km mark — hard on the knees.

With a dog

Hardest for a dog here: stiles and gates. The steepest stretch is a sustained descent of about 29% around the 10.3 km mark.

  • Stiles and gates: Stiles of unmapped type at 0.0, 1.2 and 14.3 km — a dog may need lifting over. (OpenStreetMap, mapped as of 19 July 2026)
  • Rock and scrambling: Ground underfoot: Hard – graded by Lee on the ground. Graded on the ground.
  • Drops and exposed ground: Easy – graded by Lee on the ground. Graded on the ground.
  • Ways off early: None recorded for this route.
  • Livestock, shade and water: Not recorded for this route yet. We never call a stream safe for a dog to drink, so carry enough for both of you. The lead rules, and what to do around cattle, are on dogs on the fells.

On the line: 6 gates · 2 kissing gates · 1 step-over stile · 3 stiles (type unmapped)
