Broad Crag: higher than Skiddaw, not a Wainwright.

Broad Crag (935 m) is higher than Skiddaw (930 m) and isn't a Wainwright. It is one of 18 Lake District Hewitts that are not. Ticking the 214 does not tick them:

Get off the train and walk up a fell. No car, no car park: both of these start on the platform.

🚆 Grange-over-Sands to Hampsfell
🚆 Black Combe from Silecroft station

https://t.co/CZKFkAvvK3

Both are planned routes: graded from the map and the ground data, not yet walked.

[Hikes.Guide @HikesGuide]

It was 0 °C at the start, and my phone battery died in the cold on the way up Red Pike. Carry a battery pack.

The Buttermere Ridge Anti-Clockwise: 12.62 km, 943 m up, over Red Pike, High Stile and High Crag. Route, GPX and parking: https://t.co/Zf4251g2yO

Ten new Lake District walks on https://t.co/Wj9FcXzdP3, each graded on five axes and marked walked, walked in part or not yet. Four of them here; all ten, with the GPX and parking:

Someone's sent you a GPX file for a walk. How steep is it, really?

Rate my route, in our Hikes Today app, grades the file by the same rules as our route pages: distance, climb, time, steepness, the summits it reaches, daylight this month ... https://t.co/4mlfWwp1BC

Dale Head, Hindscarth & Robinson

The most technical part of this walk is on the way down: a steep rock step just below Robinson's summit.

Walked July 2026. The line is the route; the numbers are where it bites.

Every warning, the GPX & the parking: link in bio.

The Grasmoor Round, walked 22 August 2026. The line is the route; the numbers are where it bites.

Before you walk #Blencathra the easier way: where to park if Threlkeld is full, the last bus back, and when to start in October.

Testing something new:

Hikes Today. Say where you're starting and how long you want to walk, and it picks three Lake District walks from our 189, says why each fits, and keeps one on your phone for no signal.

This why you need to research properly!

JUST IN: 16-year-old has to be rescued from British Columbia’s “Widowmaker” mountain after reportedly letting Claude map out the hike, leading him off trail.

[Hikes.Guide @HikesGuide]

I rushed this one to get to its neighbour. That was the mistake.

Full car park, no signal. RoutePark (in beta) shows where else to park for the walk you planned, keeps it on your phone for the morning, and on 98 of 161 walks says plainly there is no real plan B by car.

Twenty minutes up. The view does not care how little you paid for it.

Although this Wainwright is diminutive in stature and far from challenging (apart from the drive in from Pooley Bridge), the view from the summit is outstanding.

[Hikes.Guide @HikesGuide]

Wainwright: "the summit has no interesting features".

Clearly AW didn't summit on a day like this!!

It's essentially just a stopping point on the way up to St. Sunday Crag.

Check out this Flyover of my hike on Strava: https://t.co/DQTOKdO2yk where I completed the Far Eastern Fells in the #lakedistrict

The Westmorland and Furness Way, measured

The new 120-mile Westmorland and Furness Way opens 15 Sep. Not one of the 214 Wainwrights comes within 5 km of it — and the council's own GPX measures 122.8 mi, not 120.
