A showery day today as we climbed Scafell Pike from Seathwaite, there were a few early showers, none lasting too long as we climbed from Stockley Bridge up to Sty Head, the wind at Sty Head was quite gusty and as we climbed the Corridor Route there were a few more showers, but by now we were quite sheltered from the wind. The weather eased as we reached Lingmell Col but by the time we were on the summit there was quite a strong breeze and a hail shower.
After a short lunch stop we pressed on crossing Broadcrag Col and climbing to the summits of Broad Crag and Ill Crag before descending through Calf Cove to Esk Hause and down below Great End onto the Grains Gill path back down to Seathwaite, now below the cloud base with some great views north over Derwentwater towards Keswick.
