Scafell pike -in the bag!

Wednesday 6th June. Still zero signal on the phones, we feel like we are in the stone age! Off we go to bag Scafell Pike. We did a recon. of Scafell in May as Scafell is hard to navigate in clear weather.  We are glad we went on the recon. as the weather changed the moment we got to Stockley Bridge (start of the climb). Waterproofs on and stayed on for the trek up to the summit. Wet, windy and very misty day. See the photos uploaded. The walk took us from the YHA at Borrowdale up to the summit and back to the YHA. A round trip of 16 miles. A very hard day.
