Outdoor Activities North Lake District Fells near Keswick

The highest point in the Northern Fells is of course old widower Skiddaw at 931m, or 3,054 ft. Move further North of Skiddaw and you'll hit the unusually large fell High Pike. Wonder if Chris Bonnington still climbs High Pike most days that he's in? He and family live in Caldbeck.
