"If the party consists of more than one person, and if, further, a bat, ball and wickets can be found in the depths of somebody's rucksack, a cricket match can be played on turf that many a county ground may covet."

A. Wainwright

Knott is the highest of the fells to the north of Skiddaw, known as the Back O'Skiddaw and it's long grassy summit ridge it the hub of the largest of these ridges, to the south a narrow shoulder links Knott with Great Calva and Little Calva, to the north west a long ridge descends over Great Sca Fell and crosses all the summits to the west of Roughten Gill and to the north east a grassy ridge crosses Great Lingy Hill before splitting to the summits of High Pike and Carrock Fell.

Although many of the best routes to the summit of Knott are via the subsidiary summits and ridges an interesting path climbs from the north by Roughten Gill, taking in much of the rich mining history of the area.

We joined a group walking up Scafell Pike on Saturday 11th August and loved it! Scafell is not easy at all, quite strenuous for a large part and some of the terrain is very difficult, but it's worth it! The view from the top is amazing if you're lucky enough to get a clear day. This trip was easy to book, and the information given was clear. We were provided details of the meet point as well as directions and a list of equipment we needed. Our guide, Hugh, was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable and put us at our ease. I felt a little intimidated at first as some of our group were clearly experienced walkers and my husband and I were not nearly as fit as they were, but Hugh (and everybody in the group) were encouraging and friendly and made the day a great success. Thanks Hugh. Just do it, book a tour and go climb Scafell. It's worth the effort!
