White Side or Whiteside Bank
White Side or Whiteside Bank
is the next fell north along the Helvellyn Range (taking Lower Man as
part of the parent fell). At over 2,700ft it would be a sizable fell in
other company, but here it is rather overwhelmed by its taller and much
more dramatic neighbour.

Fell Guide: Hard Knott
Hard Knott
is better know for its pass and its Roman fort, but the fell that gives
both their name is a rather lovely one, with an undulating summit area
that repays a leisurely exploration.

Fell Guide: Grey Knotts
Grey Knotts
is really the northern end of a ridge that runs north-east from
Brandreth, but it stands separate enough to count as a fell in its own
right

Fell Guide: Great How
Great How
could be seen as a shelf on the south-western slopes of Scafell, but
for me there is enough of a gap for it to count as a separate fell.

Gavel Fell
Gavel Fell is
one of the group of fells clustered around Blake Fell, although the
only link to other high ground is across the col linking it to Black
Fell itself.

Fell Guide: Yewbarrow
Yewbarrow
is one of the most shapely of the Lake District fells, taking the form
of an upturned boat, with steep slopes on every side and a dramatic
pointed 'bow' facing south towards Wast Water.
