This morning I met Kevin, David and Hazel in Seathwaite ready to take on Scafell Pike. We made our way up to the Stockley Bridge and the drizzle and low cloud had settled in, none the less we pressed on! Soon enough we were at Styhead Tarn and from the mist came a voice asking if we were going up the Pike. This was where we met Will and Verity, two walkers who were slightly mis-placed and could do with a little help. We continued up the Corridor Route and made exceptional time to Lingmell Col. The group continued to impress by making a stunning ascent up the side of the Pike and onto the summit. After a short lunch stop we made our way back along the tops. It was much colder, the wind was up and the drizzle had again set in so we were keen to get around Great End and to the top of Grains Ghyll. We regained some views back down into Borrowdale on our descent back to Seathwaite Farm. Yet another cracking day on the fells!
“Completed Scafell on the Saturday and Langdale Pikes on Sunday 3rd and 4th November 2012 both with John who had great knowledge and Leadership skills and made it so enjoyable many thanks Pete”
