Scafell Pike

Scafell Pike, situated in the Cumbrian mountains in the beautiful Lake District is England’s highest peak. It stands 978 metres high (3,208 feet), and is climbed by thousands of people each year. Along with Ben Nevis and Snowdon it is one of the mountains climbed as part of The Three Peaks Challenge.

There are two main routes up Scafell Pike, from Wasdale Head Inn and the other starting from Seathwaite in Borrowdale. The second is a longer route, but one which rewards the walker with magnificent views and this will be our route.
