Stony Cove Pike

Cairn on the Stony Cove Pike

Stony Cove Pike (also known as caudal Moor and John Bell 's Banner ) is a mountain in the east of the northern English Lake District National Park. The Stony Cove Pike is located northeast of the Kirkstone Pass at the end of a ridge that comes from the High Street to the east. The 763 m high mountain is separated from its environment in the east through an incision, and has a saddle height of 171 m, a Marilyn

Name

There are different names for this coat in the Lake District in use. The Ordnance Survey map indicates the main summit as Stony Cove Pike, the second peak in the West as caudal Moor and used John Bell 's Banner for the southwestern ridge that slopes towards St Raven 's Edge. Alfred Wainwright in his Pictorial Guide to use the Lakeland fells the name for the whole massif and John Bell 's Banner as a variant thereof and Stony Cove Pike with it denotes the (main) summit. Bill Birkett follows in his description rather the Ordnance Survey naming, but he leads the side peak with the alternative name of John Bell 's Banner.

Topography

From the mountain branch four main crests - from - one in each direction. To the east of the mountain drops to Threshthwaite Mouth out from the Thornthwaite Crag rises. To the north is the Hartsop Dodd and westward to the summit plateau narrows slightly to the side peak of caudal Moor / John Bell 's Banner. To the south of the mountain drops steeply in the Troutbeck Valley; here stems from the Trout Beck. To the south west side of the summit of the mountain over St Raven's Edge to Kirkstone Pass drops. Below the summit side about halfway up the pass road is the former quarry caudal Quarry. In the south-east side of the summit via the Hart Crag and the Great Knott drops in the Troutbeck Valley.

The Summit

The summit is covered with grass and has a number of small lakes (Tarn ). Drystone Walls carry over to Hartsop Dodd, to St Raven's Edge and Threshthwaite Mouth. On both peaks a cairn and another Cairn is a wooden cross in the southwest of caudal Moor is designated by Alfred Wainwright as Mark Atkinson Memorial. The summit is flat and thereby limiting the view somewhat, but it is still the most important mountains of the Lake District to see from here.

Rise

An often -made walk is a circular route that starts in Patterdale valley and leads to the northern crest of the Stony Cove Pike. From there it goes down to Threshthwaite Mouth and up to the Thornthwaite Crag and then via its north ridge, the Gray Crag is, to close the loop.

A rise directly from the Kirkstone Pass is also possible.
