Height:	*509 metres/1670 feet*

"[Beda Fell] rises to a definite summit, Beda Head, which is the geographical centre of the quiet, enchanting, exquisitely beautiful area know affectionately as "Martind'l"."

A.W Wainwright

Beda Fell is the long ridge descending north from the Angletarn Pikes, the ridge rises to a defined summit at Beda Head. The long undulating ridge is flanked by the valleys of Boardale to the west and Bannerdale to the east, both valleys eventually join the Martindale Valley around the lower slopes of Beda Fell.

The grassy ridge is flanked by steep crags below Beda Head, Allen Crag and Thrang Crag being the most prominent of these.

The subsidiary summit of Winter Crag, a little further down the ridge from Beda Head is a spectacular viewpoint over the valley of Martindale and the rocky summit is a gem.

Testimonials

My son and I had a fantastic day climbing The Langdale Pikes. We booked to join the scheduled walk and as it turned out we had John all to ourselves. Without going overboard the day was marvelous. The weather was perfect and the snowline began just above Stickle Tarn. my son bounded up and down the mountain but I was a fair bit slower and less confident. John was with me all the way, introducing us to crampons and ice axes at just the right time. Being unfamiliar to the area, joining The Lake District Walker meant I didn't have to concern myself with map reading, or worry about any safety aspects. In addition we got a taste of the expert knowledge that John has of the area, it's geology and history. I can't think of a better way to enjoy the mountains and look forward to joining The Lake District Walker on our next visit.
