"Raise deserves a special cheer."

A.W Wainwright

To the north of Helvellyn the ridge descends over Helvellyn Little Man to the gentle summit of White Side before continuing to the rocky summit of Raise, a fine viewpoint over much of Lakeland.

To the north of Raise the ridge descends to Stake Pass, the track crossing the main ridge from Stannah to Glenridding and an easy path to the high summits. North of the pass the ridge continues over the Dodds, a wide grassy ridge.

The eastern face of Raise is well known to local skiers, having the only ski tow in the Lake District, run by the Lake District Ski Club.

Hi John, good morning. I want to thank you for arranging and guiding the walk around Grasmere on Saturday. David and I really enjoyed the walk! It gave me a very good introduction and orientation to somewhere I don’t know at all. I also particularly appreciated your knowledge of the Lakeland poets: I will be doing some additional reading to get a better sense of the background. As I said before, I am planning exploring some more and will get in touch with some ideas (in particular the northern lakes) and possible dates. Have a good week Best wishes Caroline
