Ullock Pike, Longside, Carl Side, Skiddaw and Bakestall
Date                   4/5/2002  

ULLOCK PIKE - the neat domed summit, upholstered in heather, and crossed by a narrow track is just the sort of place to make one wish it could be parcelled up and taken home for the back garden

LONGSIDE - one of the choicest of summits

CARLSIDE - the prospect southwards over Derwentwater to the mountains around the head of Borrowdale is delightful

SKIDDAW - a giant in stature, but an affable and friendly giant

BAKESTALL - a 100 yards north (of the summit cairn) is a better place of vantage overlooking a very pleasant pastoral scene: the Dash valley
