A great day today climbing the Scafells from Wasdale Head.
From the Inn we headed up around Lingmell and onto the Brown Tongue path climbing by Lingmell Coll to the summit. Just before reaching the Col we were in the cloud and we had this all the way to the top. After sandwiches at the summit we descended to Mickledore where the clouds broke and gave us some wonderful views over upper Eskdale and across to the Conistoon Fells.
From Mickledore we descended to the foot of the Fox's Tarn path, climbing up by the tarn and up the scree above to the summit of Scafell.
There were wonderful views from the summit all the way down the west coast to Walney Island and across to the Crinkles!
We descended along the Green How path down to Brackenclose for a well deserved pint in the Wasdale Head Inn.
