The ridge south westward to High Howes is grassy and broad, crossing a wet depression at Captain Whelter Bog. North eastwards from Selside Pike the ridge narrows, dropping over High Blake Dodd to the Mardale Corpse Road. Beyond this is Hare Shaw (1,650 ft), standing at the head of an area of rough fell on either side of the Naddle Beck. This area was covered in Wainwright's The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.
