Worth the alarm. ⏰ 06:55 Above Windermere, 07:19 Below Wansfell Pike, 07:40 Glenridding Dodd. When the sun really clears the skyline, for 214 summits:

Broad Crag: higher than Skiddaw, not a Wainwright.
Broad Crag (935 m) is higher than Skiddaw (930 m) and isn't a Wainwright. It is one of 18 Lake District Hewitts that are not. Ticking the 214 does not tick them:

Get off the train and walk up a fell. No car, no car park: both of these start on the platform.
🚆 Grange-over-Sands to Hampsfell
🚆 Black Combe from Silecroft station
hikes.guide/routes/black-com…
Both are planned routes: graded from the map and the ground data, not yet walked.
It was 0 °C at the start, and my phone battery died in the cold on the way up Red Pike. Carry a battery pack.
The Buttermere Ridge Anti-Clockwise: 12.62 km, 943 m up, over Red Pike, High Stile and High Crag. Route, GPX and parking: hikes.guide/routes/the-butte…
Ten new Lake District walks on hikes.guide, each graded on five axes and marked walked, walked in part or not yet. Four of them here; all ten, with the GPX and parking:

Someone's sent you a GPX file for a walk. How steep is it, really?
Rate my route, in our Hikes Today app, grades the file by the same rules as our route pages: distance, climb, time, steepness, the summits it reaches, daylight this month ... hikes.today
Dale Head, Hindscarth & Robinson
The most technical part of this walk is on the way down: a steep rock step just below Robinson's summit.
Walked July 2026. The line is the route; the numbers are where it bites.
Every warning, the GPX & the parking: link in bio.

The Grasmoor Round, walked 22 August 2026. The line is the route; the numbers are where it bites.

Before you walk #Blencathra the easier way: where to park if Threlkeld is full, the last bus back, and when to start in October.

Testing something new:
Hikes Today. Say where you're starting and how long you want to walk, and it picks three Lake District walks from our 189, says why each fits, and keeps one on your phone for no signal.

Testing something new: Hikes Today. Say where you're starting and how long you want to walk, and it picks three Lake District walks from our 189, says why each fits, and keeps one on your phone for no signal. Looking for 15 to 20 testers this month: app.hikes.guide
I rushed this one to get to its neighbour. That was the mistake.

ALT Harrison Stickle - looking down from the summit crags to Stickle Tarn, with the ridges of the central fells rolling away under a bright sky
Full car park, no signal. RoutePark (in beta) shows where else to park for the walk you planned, keeps it on your phone for the morning, and on 98 of 161 walks says plainly there is no real plan B by car.

Twenty minutes up. The view does not care how little you paid for it.
Although this Wainwright is diminutive in stature and far from challenging (apart from the drive in from Pooley Bridge), the view from the summit is outstanding.
