A two day wild camping trip climbing the highest mountains in England with a wild camp near the tops!

We will take a two day backpacking trip, starting in Eskdale and climbing the Slight Side Ridge to the summit of Scafell. The ridge will then be followed (via Foxes Tarn) as we cross Scafell Pike and continue along the ridge to camp near Great End. Weather permitting we will be able to see a magnificent sunset and if we are up early enough the next morning sunrise!

The route for the second day is fairly flexible, but the plan is to follow the Allen Crags and Glaramara ridge to descend to the Borrowdale Valley.

Day 1:
Meet in Keswick and drive to Eskdale
Climb Scafell via Slight Side and continue along ridge over Scafell Pike (Via Foxes Tarn)
Wild camp below Great End
Day 2:
Option 1: Follow the ridge over Allen Crags to Glaramara and down to the Borrowdale Valley. Drive back to Keswick

Option 2: Descend to Langdale over Esk Pike and Bowfell. Drive back to Keswick.

The Lake District Walker will provide one or two man tents, sleeping mats and stoves, sleeping bags and rucksacks can be hired at a small additional cost if required.

A full list of equipment required will be emailed upon booking or on request.
