- LOWER fells-
Pike O'Blisco
conical virtue–
summit seen from valley floor–
a dale's belvedere
Pavey Ark
a fell or a cliff?
a diagonal scramble?
most choose safer routes
​
Ullock Pike
peruse from Watches
to a fledgling alpine peak
commanding Bass’ Lake
Loadpot Hill
chimney now collapsed–
stones and tumuli remain
–dig it, for peat's sake
Place Fell
wrapped by Ullswater–
Wainwright’s most rewarding walk–
Lakeland’s best trig point
Fleetwith Pike
sometime cabled route–
or an edge from foot to top–
glorious Gatesgarth
​
Causey Pike
ridge of humps and bumps–
the eastmost quite a scramble–
Stair's way to heaven
Yewbarrow
via Dore or Door . . .
haul your body to the keel
–Wasdale’s upturned boat
Haystacks
a church’s tribute–
a writer’s ashes scattered–
tarns and crags atop
​
Great Cockup
a fell so far north
and yet so near to Sca Fell–
this is some mistake
​
High Tove
Watendlath – dry feet
saturated watershed
Armboth – sodden feet
Mellbreak
twin summits adorn–
the southernmost the higher . . .
the northern more fair
Wansfell Pike
some bang for your buck–
Ambleside's morning sojourn–
a spirit lifter
​
Barf
a sickening fell
‘twixt the Bishop and the Lord–
heavenly walking
​
Catbells
valleys on one side–
water on the opposite–
Keswick’s pleasure walk
Helm Crag
a hike from Grasmere–
from some aspects, two creatures–
on top, a weapon
Walla Crag
reward from Keswick–
a Derwentwater vista
above wooded cliffs
​
Latrigg
small dome, wooded skirt–
amble from Spooney Green Lane–
Keswick surveyor
​
Rannerdale Knotts
protruding Crummock–
sauntered up from Buttermere–
a site of conflict
Loughrigg Fell
is this a mountain?
just eleven hundred feet–
but Grasmere looks fine
Castle Crag (Borrowdale)
quarried and wooded–
too small to be a Birkett–
a man’s home for years
Orrest Head
more hill than mountain–
inspiration to Wainwright–
this fell changed his life
​

cragfast or injured?
