A good day climbing Scafell Pike and Scafell from Wasdale Head today.
The forecast for the day wasn't great but we were hopeful as we set off from Wasdale Head, we climbed by the Brown Tongue path and up onto Lingmell Col, the wind was pretty strong but so far there we none of the heavy shower predicted.
As we reached the Summit of Scafell Pike a short sharp hail shower hit us, this soon eased as we descended towards Mickledore though, we found a good spot below Broad Stand to eat our lunches out of the wind before descending to meet the Fox's Tarn path.
There was plenty of water coming down from the tarn today but we climbed by the waterfalls without any problems, as we climbed the steep slope above Fox's Tarn another hail shower hit us, a little longer this time but this eased off as we reached the summit of Scafell. There was nothing to see from the top now though as we were now in cloud.
We descended the Green How path dropping out of the cloud quickly and descended the grassy slopes to Brackenclose getting back to the Wasdale Head Inn as a heavy shower reached.
