A great day above Wasdale today, we set off from the Wasdale Head Inn in bright sunshine climbing by the Brown Tongue path to Lingmell Col and then up to the summit of Scafell Pike, the views on the way up were good if a little hazy, but we coould just make out the Isle of Man and Scotland across the Solway Firth.
After eating our sandwiches on the summit we descended to Mickledore and down to the foot of the Foxes Tarn path climbing alongside the waterfalls to Foxes Tarn and up to the summit plateau.
We stopped at the top of Scafell Crag to admire the views from Piscah before climbing to the summit of Scafell, the views now were amazing, the air had cleared during the day and now we had clear views from Blackpool, over the Isle of Man and north to Scotland as well as of most of the Lake District.
After a rest on the summit we then descended back to Wasdale, following the path down over Green How to Brackenclose and back along the Wasdale Valley to the Wasdale Head Inn.
