Day 2 of a short break in the Lake District. A sunny breezy day, we set off from near Bassenthwaite village on a favourite circular walk, taking in several peaks. We walked along a number of paths through fields and farms, to reach the long ridge, up to Ullock Pike. From here we continued along the ridge, over Longside Edge, enjoying good views over Bassenthwaite Lake, Derwent Water and the rest of the Lake District peaks, to Carl Side 746m. We then ascended steeply up the slated path to Skiddaw summit ridge and its tops 931m. After a lunch stop at the N summit, we continued N, dropping down steeply and then up onto the summit of Bakestall 673m, where we enjoyed good views of the Northern fells and across the Solway Firth to Scotland. We then dropped down Birkett Edge to Whitewater Dash Waterfalls, where we joined the Cumbria way footpath back to the road and our start point.
