Bakestall

"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.

Hi John, I really just had to write and let you know how much I thoroughly enjoyed the Snowdon Horseshoe walk last Saturday. The last time I attempted Crib Goch two years ago the weather was dreadful and we backed off, but last Saturday conditions were perfect. I particularly wanted you to pass on my thanks to Owen for leading this walk so well. Apart from him pointing the way I didn't find any of the scrambling difficult and enjoyed every minute. He is a thoroughly nice chap, knowledgeable and easy to talk to and get along with. I would really hope that I can walk / scramble with him again sometime (and your good self of course). Best wishes, Frank.
