"Carl Side is a splendid climb in itself, with a glorious view south."

A. Wainwright

Carl Side lies at the head of the Southnerdale Valley, to the north west the ridge descends over Long Side and Ullock Pike down a fine ridge towards Bassenthwaite, to the east the steep slopes climb to the summit of Skiddaw, the fourth highest peak in the Lake District.

A short shoulder climbs Carl Side from the south, climbing from the fields of Millbeck, from the valley below the shapely peak of Carsleddam looks a prominent feature, upon climbing though the summit of Carsleddam is seen to be just a short protuberance from the main ridge, without a separate summit, although it does make a fine viewpoint.

Testimonials

Rating:

What an excellent three days of walking Three County Peaks. I was very impressed with the relaxed approach of the guides; this made me feel under no pressure to rush or be of a certain standard to join the walking group. I particularly wish to say a huge thank you to Rachel who guided me over Striding Edge to Helvellyn, and Old Man of Coniston. She is super friendly, always had a smile on her face, offered so much information about the environment and areas on each walk, always knew exactly the right spot to stop and catch your breath, and she enabled me to feel confident walking over Striding Edge for which I am truly grateful !! Wonderful times, thank you.
