is seen from this point. The summit of the Pike is 2,401 

 feet above the level of the sea. The height is not very great ; 

 but the view is interesting, because it is unlike most others 

 that can be obtained, — extending as it does, over the level 

 country to the south and south-east, while it commands in 

 other directions the loftiest peaks in the district. Passing the 

 way up the Pike, the moorland path leads over into ~JS,mt^ 

 bale, and down upon Easedale Tarn. There is also a way 

 down into Borrowdale, by crossing Codale Fell, and getting 

 into the Stake road. 



IX. The ascent of ^BJelbellgn is not so often made from 

 Grasmere as from Wythburn, which is nearly four miles 

 further on. From Grasmere it is much longer; but still 

 some persons well acquainted with the locality prefer this 

 way, because the views are fine, and the ascent is more 

 gradual. The high-road is left about half a mile north of 

 the Swan inn, just after crossing the bridge, (p. 131).
