Stockley Bridge is an ancient packhorse bridge which lies on the old route between Borrowdale and the Cumbrian coast. The bridge was widened in 1887 and had to be repaired after a 1966 storm.

On 19th & 20th November 2009 Seathwaite received 314.4 millimetres (12.38 in) of rain in a 24 hour period, a major contributor to the 2009 Cumbria floods, a record for the amount of rain falling in any UK place within 24 hours.

By far our most popular route we will take in the highest peak in England along with some of the most spectacular scenery in the Lake District.

From Seathwaite we will climb above Taylorgill Force to Styhead Tarn and Styhead Pass where we will meet the beginning of the Corridor Route which we will follow to Lingmell Col, here we have the option to take in the additional summit of Lingmell, a great viewpoint over Great Gable and the Wasdale Valley.

From Lingmell Col we will climb the short path onto the summit of Scafell Pike.
The route then takes us north along the summit ridge, past Broad Crag and Ill Crag where again we have the option of taking in the summit of Great End, the fifth highest mountain in England.

We now descend over Esk Hause with views over The Langdale Pikes and Windermere before turning again to the north and descending alongside Grains Gill back to Seathwaite.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Equipment Required.
