We set off early today from the Old Dungeon Ghyll (ODG) in Langdale with Estelle and friends for a walk over to Scafell Pike in the early morning sunshine. Our route involved an ascent of Rossett Ghyll before heading up to Esk Hause and a walk along the ridge connecting Ill Crag and Broad Crag before the final short pull up to the summit.
As we gained height it became much cooler today and by Esk Hause we had walked into low cloud and mist with poor visibility. After summiting we retraced our route bback to Esk Hause before returning by Esk Pike and Bowfell, descending down the Band to reach the ODG for a well earned pint.

I was wanting to have a go at Scafell, Scafell Pike and round to Bowfell from the Hardknott side. Have you ever done it? If so please could you drop me a line on http://blogs.liverpoolecho.co.uk/aintnomountainhighenough/ because I'm heading up there in August and I know very little about that lump of land as I tend to hang out much more in the Welsh hills as you can see.
Richard,
Yes have been round route, unable to respond to you via your blog but if you send email I will give you more info and an image to help you consider route. You have one big challenge that can be avoided if not confident scrambler
