"[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.

Rating:

Great walk up Scafell Pike with Tom as a guide. Helpfully texted us the previous day to confirm arrangements. Started slowly up the valley before climbing up to Styhead Tarn. The group was mixed in age and was paced well. Biscuits at the stretcher box before the Corridor Route to Lingmell Coll. We had the option to do Lingmell but the kids were focussed on Scafell Pike, so that didn't happen. Shame for my Wainwright count but a good day all the same. Stunning views with such a lovely sunny day. The drop down to Sprinkling Tarn was gentle and welcome after a good climb. Back to the cars before dark fall.
