Another great day today climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite.
We set off from Seathwaite at 10am and climbed from Stockley Bridge to Sty Head Gill, stopping for a while to watch Peter rounding up the sheep on the slopes of Base Brown and taking them down to Seathwaite Farm.
We made good time climbing to Sty Head and were on the Corridor Route in no time, there was quite a cold wind today but we were in and out of the shelter on the Corridor Route.
By the time we were at Lingmell Col the wind was quite strong, we didn't stop for long and pressed on to the summit, reaching the top just after 1pm. As we climbed towards the summit we were enveloped in clouds, the bright morning had turned into a dull day and the wind was getting very chilly!
We stopped just below the summit out of the wind, after lunch we descended to Broad Crag Col and followed the ridge over Broad Crag and Ill Crag descending to Esk Hause and down below Great End onto the Grains Gill path back to Seathwaite.
