Ulthwaite Rigg Ulthwaite Rigg is one of most undeserving of Wainwright's Outlying Fells. In the Database of British and Irish Hills it has a drop of just 2m, so it is really just the end of a ridge. It is visible here, dead centre about a kilometre away, but difficult to make out against the higher ground beyond.
