Slight Side
When viewed from the valley of Eskdale the fell is seen as a distinct peak but in reality it is just the terminal point on Scafell’s southern ridge before it descends steeply to Eskdale. It only has 14 metres (46 ft) of topographic prominence between itself and Scafell (the col is at 748 metres; 2,454 ft) and therefore Slight Side narrowly fails to qualify as a Nuttall hill or a Hewitt. It was left to Alfred Wainwright to give Slight Side the status of a separate fell in his Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells.
