Guided Walking up Scafell Pike

Fantastic Views for the first time from Scafell Pike for me, I think my 6th visit to the peak. I believe this is the usual case for visitors to the Peak, especially 3 peak walkers who often are there at night, and don’t have time.

We walked from Langdale Old Dungeon Ghyll to the Summit and back setting off at 10:00 and returning at 5:00pm

This is a very long and demanding walk but very rewarding on a day such as this. The views and the way they open up over the crests are simply breathtaking.

If The Lake District is the most Beautiful place on the planet then these must be some of the best views and this one of the best walks on the planet.

I regularly say “Beauty is found in Contrast” and you have the contrast of cloud and no cloud, sea and mountains, clear sky and clouds forming, huge valleys as in langdale  and Eskdale seen below and the highest peaks in England all visible as you stand on the top.

There you go I thought this needed sharing a great days walk and I was working! what a great job on days like today. Hope you are inspired.
