Another good day climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite today.
We set off from Seathwaite at 10am in sunny weather, with just a little cloud on Great End. After climbing above Stockley Bridge towards Sty Head we saw cloud descending over the higher tops and some light rain started to fall.
From Sty Head as we climbed on the Corridor Route the rain fell a little heavier and we climbed into the cloud just above the 2,000ft mark, the rain soon eased of and we climbed by Lingmell Col and up to the summit of Scafell Pike.
There were no views from the summit of Scafell Pike so we stopped in the usual shelter to eat our lunches. After lunch we descended out of the cloud as we dropped down to Broadcrag Col and crossed Broad Crag and Ill Crag and as we descended through Calf Cove to Esk Hause we were rewarded with some wonderful views over the Langdale Pikes and to Helvellyn.
We descended north from Esk Hause and dropped below Great End following the Grains Gill path back to Seathwaite.
