Out of all the hills in the Lakes, the Caldbeck & Uldale Fells are probably considered the poor cousins to the other ranges. The views of the Scottish Coast over the Solway are hardly the most dramatic that Scotland has to offer, but one of the best times to view are at sunset - especially on two wheels

I love the views across to Dumfries & Galloway from that area, especially Criffel. Funny how, although I usually get cr*p weather in Scotland, whenever I'm looking at it from Cumbria it looks great!

Criffel & Nithsdale both seem to get much better weather than the Lakes, I'm not sure if its that old 'grass is greener' addage!!
