"It would pass almost without comment but for it's command of a scene of extra ordinary interest."

A. Wainwright

On the northern flank of Skiddaw a grassy shoulder descends towards Dash Falls, one prominent summit lies on this shoulder, Bakestall, when seen from below a shapely summit with crags below.

Bakestall makes a good route off Skiddaw to the Skiddaw House supply road, descending to Peter House Farm on the Orthwaite Road.

The summit offers a fine view over Great Calva and the Back O'Skiddaw fells to the north.

Testimonials

Rating:

Just the sort of guiding for the sort of "tramping" we wanted to do. My college-aged daughter and I had the pleasure of being guided on a "moderate" walk (approx. 5-6 hours) by one of the Lake District Walker guides. First, the level of tramping was just what we wanted, and the guide was an excellent "companion" who set a good pace that was just right. He is very competent and it is obvious he loves what he does. Moreover, he has the people skills that one should have in such a job. We enjoyed it tremendously, and appreciate being able to spend time in this beautiful area.
