High Raise (Martindale)

Grid Reference:	*NY 44826 13453*
Height:	*802 metres/2631 feet*

"This is a most enjoyable excursion with a succession of widely differing views, all excellent."

A.Wainwright

The main ridge north of High Street after crossing the dip at the Straights of Riggindale crosses first the summit of Rampsgill Head before climbing to High Raise, the second highest summit of the Far Eastern Fells. From here north the ridge descends over Wether Hill and Loadpot Hill in the form of gentle grassy slopes, west the land drops steeply into the Rampsgill Valley, but to the east the land descends gently towards Haweswater with only the Whelter Crags showing a rocky face to the grassland.

Along the summit ridge of High Raise lies the High Street Roman Road, the route between the Roman forts at Brougham near Penrith and Galava in Ambleside, this is not all that High Raise has to offer the historian though, the secluded eastern slopes also offer the flooded village of Mardale and an ancient hill fort.

Fantastic guided walks I have been out with The Lake District Walker a few times now and they are an excellent company. The guides are all really friendly and very experienced and make the day really enjoyable even in the most trying of weather conditions! They have a fantastic range of walks and will go out even if only one person has booked on. This year my friend and I have scaled Helm Crag, Striding Edge and Scafell Pike and we will be back for many more. We are already avidly looking at the 2014 events! Thank you for making fell walking so accessible, challenging and fun.
