"Doubly happy, however, is the man to whom lofty mountain tops are within reach."

Great Gable from Seathwaite

A more diverse day its hard imagine, with smiles all round and a new route record to boot. Whats more I got to try out my new over-trousers, sort of, and at least from a breath-ability perspective I am more than satisfied. Thanks Haglofs.

Scafell Pike from Seathwaite

Another wet one I thought as I donned the waterproofs before exiting the car in Seathwaite to climb Scafell Pike. As I stood awaiting the group it was clear that they too had had the same idea, as 3 hooded figures approached, squinting against the April drizzle.

Scafell Pike from Seathwaite

It's hard to imagine a better day to climb to the summit of England's highest mountain, with a bright and frosty start and visibility to the horizon. Few could have found reason to complain as we headed off from Seathwaite farm, with snow capped mountains, bathed in the morning sun in every direction.
