A glorious day on Scafell Pike today, climbing from Seathwaite we followed the Sty Head path and up along the Corridor Route to a sunny Lingmell Col, the fells were in sunshine but there was a low mist over the Irish Sea with the Isle Of Man sticking up through the cloud. A little cloud blew up the valley and shrouded the summits for a short while but this soon cleared.
We climbed from Lingmell Col to the summit of Scafell Pike and stopped in the sunshine for our sandwiches, there was hardly a breath of wind on the summit today as we sat and watched the last of the cloud clear the Helvellyn ridge to the east.
After lunch was eaten we followed the ridge north over Broad crag and Ill Crag to descend over Esk Hause and down the old drove road back to Seathwaite.
