Sat 18th July, Scafell Pike

We are on Scafell Pike today with Sally and her family. We set off from Seathwaite in pleasant conditions for the long pull up Ruddy Gill to Esk Hause. As we gained height on Great End the wind speed picked up and low cloud rolled in making visibility to the summit, over the last few kms,very poor.

As usual at this time of year there were a number of large groups of "three peakers" resting on the top. After a short break for pictures we headed down towards the Corridor Route and our way back to the valley. As we reached the col near Lingmell we came back out of the clouds and enjoyed some shelter from the wind and warm sunshine for the rest of our descent back into the valley.
