Skiddaw's slopes are generally rounded and convex, looking from a distance as though a thick velvet blanket has been draped over a supporting frame.
On the ridges the general terrain is of loose stones, but elsewhere all is grass and heather.
Wainwright noted that "Its lines are smooth, its curves graceful; but because the slopes are steep everywhere, the quick build-up of the “massif” from valley levels to central summit is appreciated at a glance - and it should be an appreciative glance, for such massive strength and such beauty of outline rarely go together."
To the south-east are Skiddaw Little Man and Lonscale Fell, Beyond these fells are the Glenderaterra Beck and the Blencathra group.
The southern flanks fall gently over acres of sheep pasture in the manner of the Skiddaw range.
At the base of the slope is the wooded valley of Whit Beck, separating Lonscale Fell from the east ridge of Latrigg.
Here also is Lonscale, the farm which has given its name to the fell.
Whit Beck is a tributary of the Glenderaterra, a stream which forms the eastern boundary of Lonscale Fell. This flows due south from Skiddaw Forest between the Skiddaw massif and Blencathra, before joining the River Greta and running on through Keswick.

10 summits on the way to Skiddaw,? Who knew... well I didn't? That was great to watch and find them all. And what a reward at the end. Your photography is stunning. You are always so positive even if it is -10.
Brilliant

Conditions pretty amazing on the top of Skiddaw Andy, stunning pictures of the clouds over the summit and the panoramic view around. Felt brass just watching. southerly blowing those clouds parallel with summit ridge - spectacular photography in lots of weather variation.
Well rewarded at
North Top what a great winter view.
A great days walking, liked quieter winter feel of Skiddaw and the route you took. Brilliant information over the 10 tops. Tks Andy and of course Rockstar.
I'm pleased you noticed and commented on them atmospherics blowing down the ridge Christopher as the day realy and was incredible and I tryed my hardest to film the conditions.
What a great day 😊 ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Thanks for watching buddy very much appreciated 😁

Hi Andy and Billy. What a fabulous video. That walk up to Lonscale Fell along Burnt Horse Ridge was one of our favourites last year thanks to watching the previous walk you did along there. Loved the valley and the views from the top. We never saw Skiddaw as it was in clag all the time so we just made our way back down the main path. Glad you finally got some super atmospheric views from the summit. Another epic adventure ATB
Thanks as always Tony very much appreciated mate 😁
What fantastic atmospherics blowing south down Skiddaws ridge but soooooo cold ❄️ ❄️
Awesome!!!

Your accent makes it sound like you're saying Burnt Arse instead of burnt horse 😂 Great video, fella 🤜🤛😊
😁🤣🤣...lol cheers Marra 😊 thanks for watching very much appreciated 😁

Ey up Marra, Billy, what a cracking day, the weather indeed was very kind to you in the end, although it looked freezing on Skiddaw. Shame you didn’t get the views down the valley from Lonsclale Pike. I love the walk down the Glenderaterra valley, it was my favourite section of the Cumbria Way last year.
We are out in the Uldale Fells on Saturday.
All the best Andy 🥾⛰🥶
Aye thanks Dave lol persistent eh I was determined to get to that sun 🤣🤣
What fantastic atmospherics and as I said definitely the coldest I've been in for a long time ❄️❄️❄️
Uldale rounds one of my favourites love them Hills enyoy 😁

Another cracking video Andrew! 👌
Thanks for watching Craig very much appreciated 😁
A brilliant video Andy! I love the crescendos of the opening music. Those views from up top were well worth the effort....albeit bloody cold!! Crackin' route. A good alternative to the up-and-down of the tourist path.
Thanks Adie it was a tough day to get that drone up but managed with some great footage of Burnt Horse Ridge...it was way to wild on't Summits then as we came back down absolutely beautiful with no wind...a great day on't Hills I'm so pleased we made the effort and ploughed on to the Summit Plateau of Skiddaw that wild atmospheric weather realy was something 👍🏻
Thanks for watching buddy very much appreciated Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Well done Andy! Another great video! Love the cloud footage on the summit of Skiddaw. It really did look baltic though! When we did Skiddaw the wind was so bad we couldn't stand upright! 😂
Lol...Skiddaw seems to always be windy doesn't it...even when Blencathras flat Skiddaw can be blowing like hell 🤣
Thanks as always for watching very much appreciated 😁
Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
I have no idea how you do it, that was some hike and also incorporating the filming. That is some going, kudos to you. I am in the Lakes on Friday in the hope the weather is kind. Plus I have taken inspiration from you and Tracy, and taking my mascot with me my knitted Baked Nean tin complete with 4x beans with eyes. Baked Bean Bob!
A knitted tin of baked beans 🤣... Lol now that I've gotta see 👀 superb!!!
Thanks as always for watching buddy very much appreciated 😁

Very much appreciated Glyn hope your keeping well pal 😊

Nice one again Andy. That looked flipping cold up there on Skiddaw. Got to keep going in winter, otherwise you get cold quickly. Had thad a few years ago on High Raise and on the way down into Langstrath at minus 15 c. All the waterfalls on the way down were frozen solid. Couldn't stop, otherwise you'd freeze. Nice and warm in the Langstrath Inn at the end with a few beers though! 🍺
The best way uo Skiddaw, leaving behind the 'Tourists trail' up Jenkin Hill & taking the path towards Skiddaw House 🙂sooo much qieter 😊 it seems to take forever to get to the summit, so it's head down, & keep pn bloody going 😂😂 must have been baltic if you say it was up tops 😮😮too damn cold for me Andy, ill take spring/summer/Autumn if that's ok 😂😂 Tangerina looked ready & waiting fo for ya at the gate😊 excellent walk this, in my top list of routes to walk in The Lakes, 👌regards to You, Tracey and of course The legend that is The Rockstar 🐶🐕❤
Thanks as always David aye mate it was the coldest wind I remember for a long time ❄️ ❄️ ❄️
Them atmospherics blowing south down Skiddaws ridge where out of this world 👀🌨️❄️☁️

Fantastic walk and route that. Think it’s one we’ll do in future. I was praying the cloud would break for you and what views you got in the end. 👍
Thanks Marra it was incredible really that view opening up right at the Summit like that...so pleased we ploughed on to the very highest point we could

Great effort brother I was talking to a Subscribe friend below Skiddaw who informed me of a scramble route up the front of Longscale Pike I never new about...watch this space Marra it's one I'll be checking out.
Thanks as always for watching very much appreciated 😁

@RockStar67 that's the one I went down I think it's in a col with the waterfall next to you , you come off it just before you cross the water on the cumbrian way , take care brother
Will do...likewise Bro 🙏🏻
My last trip to Skiddaw must have been in 2011 because it coincided with Cav winning the green jersey on the Champs Elysée. I turned on Manx Radio to find out the result and their pundit sounded as if he was in tears. My mate and I descended to a scruffy camp by the infant Caldew. You didn’t mention Skiddaw as a Furth so I checked on Hill Lists to see if it’s there and the app has Skiddaw summit in 15 lists. Any ideas on what a Buxton and Lewis is? Great video although I miss seeing you fall into a tarn!
Hiya Buddy thanks for watching very much appreciated 😁
Aye Skiddaw has many classifications in fact lots I know very little about or even heard of...but I did find some info to your question 👍🏻
The Buxton & Lewis
422 Mountain summits in England and Wales over 2000-foot.
Put together by by Chris Buxton and Gwyn Lewis (1986)
Buxton and Lewis used a prominence threshold of two contour rings on the OS 1:50,000 map, and the number of hills is similar to the 446 Nuttalls in England and Wales.

You're doing a fantastic job! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
