A wonderful day on Scafell Pike today, clear skies and light winds gave some wonderful views.
We climbed from Seathwaite via Sty Head and the Corridor Route to Lingmell Col where we had some dramatic views over the Irish Sea to the Isle Of Man before climbing to the summit of Scafell Pike.
We stopped on the summit for our lunch and to admire the views, we could see as far as the Blackpool Tower and the whole of the Lake District.
The Scafell Pike Fell Race was taking place today so we watched all the competitors arriving at the summit and heading back down to Wasdale.
After lunch we followed the ridge north over Broad Crag and Ill Crag to descend to Esk Hause and down along the Grains Gill path back to Seathwaite.
As we descended we passed a group with an injured member but no help was needed from us, the Mountain Rescue were already on their way and we passed them as we descended to Seathwaite.
Especially well done to Evan today who climbed Scafell Pike on his 7th birthday!
