- Causey Pike & Outerside: Private Guiding
A great walk above the Newlands Valley taking the the majestic summit of Causey Pike, one of the most recognisable summits in the Lake District.
From the summit of Causey Pike this turns into a fine horseshoe walk taking in the summits of Scar Crag and Outerside before descending back to Stonycroft over Barrow.
Summits included on this route:
Causey Pike637 metres / 2090 feet
Scar Crags672 metres / 2205 feet
Outerside568 metres / 1864 feet
Barrow455 metres / 1493 feet
This stunning medium level route takes us on a horseshoe of the Stonycroft Gill. First we climb out of Stonycroft to reach the charismatic peak of Causey Pike before continuing along the ridge to Scar Crags, all the while with great views ahead of the north-western fells.
From the Sail Pass we turn onto the other side of the horseshoe and ascend Outerside, our view now directed towards Keswick and the northern fells below and beyond. The final descent from Barrow down its long and gradual north ridge to return back to Stonycroft along the track provide a fantastic easy end to this walk.

We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.
Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Posted by John Scadding on Thursday, 21 September 2017
Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.
However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.
